Who are The Sara Lee Trust?

Our story began in 1996 after our founder, Sara Lee, passed away from a rare cancer when she was only 32 years old.
Sara believed that anyone affected by cancer or another life threatening illness should be able to easily access specialist counselling and complementary therapy care for free. 
Her family set up The Sara Lee Trust to help the people of Hastings and Rother receive the high quality care that made such a difference to Sara when she needed it most. Since then, the Trust has helped thousands of people through delivering counselling, therapies and group activities specifically designed to work alongside medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening illnesses.
