About us
Who we are
Most people are affected by cancer in some way during their lives, and many find this a traumatic and lonely experience. We aim to help and support anyone going through the emotions of cancer, from diagnosis onwards, be they patients, their family, friends or carers.
Pickering is an independent registered charity, and we are entirely self-funded. While people are referred to us by consultants, GPs and other health professionals, you don’t need a referral. We are entirely non-medical and aim to support the emotional side of a cancer diagnosis.
Our support ranges from a simple cup of tea and a biscuit (we always have biscuits!) and a friendly, comforting chat, to the opportunity to benefit from a range of complementary therapies, such as time with a reiki practitioner or the chance to join an art or craft session. Everything we offer is available completely free of charge.
Equality, diversity and inclusion policy
Pickering is committed to equal opportunity for all and welcomes applications from all suitably qualified candidates regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. A copy of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy is available on request.
