Cancer Campaign in Suffolk (CCiS) The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
Over view of our main activities Prevention (helping before) One in 2 of us will have a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime therefore; we will all know someone or will be that person with a cancer diagnosis. These are scary statistic! CCiS understands the importance of getting the message of self-management, awareness and prevention into our community. We all need to understand what the risks are, what changes to look out for and to know what our bodies look like today, so if tomorrow there are some changes we can recognise them and act by visiting our GP’s. National research by CRUK shows that an early diagnosis leads to more successful and less invasive treatment, meaning what is learnt at one of our workshops really can save lives. Therapies (during) in clinical and community settings The CCiS cancer specialist complementary therapy team provide free therapies and counselling to those with a cancer diagnosis. The project provides a variety of therapies that all result in an increase in the wellbeing of each patient. We use the most appropriate therapy for each individual, factoring in which cancer, what the psychological effects are, what surgery they have had, the type of treatment and its effects. This is a project about people and their wellbeing and giving them confidence to help with the management of their own treatment. Case studies…
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
Diagnosed at 54 in 2021
Loss of Husband August 2020 and Mum diagnosed with cancer June 2022 This patient presented extremely anxious, tearful and grieving. Her anxiety rendered her unable to cope and her first therapy was spent in tears then asleep. Gradually by her 3[rd] treatment the anxiety was much reduced. The patient has always claimed after Thai foot massage that it removes physical pain, plus she enjoys the space to openly chat about everything, in a calming environment to relax and reduce anxiety. Her phased return to work was a massive concern because she wanted to reduce her hours. My patient has holidayed to Italy. She wore her husband’s panama hat, this made her feel like “he was with me”. Relationships with her 2 sons are better. Her letrazole continues to cause cramps and joint pain. She has lymphoedema radiotherapy issues, but is in touch with breast screening. She is looking forward to her next therapy which will be her last as she will be needed to help her mum who is to start her cancer treatment shortly, followed by complementary therapy which she knows will be good for her.
We have had several new cases of COVID recently which has brought back mask wearing and reduced visiting and clinical appointments so the fears of COVID have still not gone! Many are finding that the effects of COVID and the recent upsurge in cases frightening and have a long lasting negative effect on them. They are presenting with much more complex psychological problems that need longer counselling sessions in some cases up to 50% more than is usual. We are seeing more loneliness, patients experiencing less family time, increased fear of COVID hospitals and the effects it could have on an already compromised immune system. They are having a tough time and are so

appreciative of the time and help that CCiS provides… here are a few case studies…
M had been through treatment but said that it was difficult to get back to “normal life”. She didn’t recognise what normal meant anymore. She wanted a space that was confidential, and she could talk about her worries, fears as well as her hopes for the future. M thought that her feelings were often conflicted and the counsellor accepted this without any judgement. Counselling helped M to understand how her diagnosis had impacted on her and how her reactions of shock, low mood and anxiety were normal responses to her experience. Counselling helped M to consider what was important to her and how she might make changes when she was ready.
As D progressed in her counselling sessions she became more able to express to her family her fears and worries . She was also more open to asking others to support her in ways that were important to her. Sometimes this meant asking others for practical help and sometimes it meant asking for quiet companionship when she felt tired or anxious. D also responded well to self-care strategies that helped her to relax and manage intrusive thoughts. Counselling helped D to reflect on and prioritise her own needs. The realisation that she could allow others to care for her helped D to get through what she described as “those awful days after chemotherapy”. D felt that counselling enabled her to do things differently, to recognize the importance of self-care and to allow those close to her to express their love and care for her.
As you can see the results of this project on the wellbeing of those who have counselling and/or complementary therapies are amazing; people are less anxious, look more positively on their future and feel more in control of their situation. This has a huge impact on the way they manage not only their treatment but their personal lives as well.
Exciting news…
We are expanding to meet vital needs of those with cancer and their families…
We understand the huge need to continue working in the community to meet the increasing demands of those with cancer and their families. We have successfully leased a property for 10 years in the heart of Ipswich giving a central location, easy access, with parking close by. The property is grade 2 listed and needs some work to ensure it meets the requirements of those we want to welcome to our new Community Cancer Hub. The refurbishment will take many months and we hope to open in the Autumn of 2022.
