The Pink Place

The Pink Place A cancer diagnosis shatters lives and brings fear, anxiety and overwhelming uncertainty.

The Pink Place provides essential wellbeing services and support, helping adults with any type of cancer feel less alone and more empowered. A cancer diagnosis shatters lives, bringing fear, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming uncertainty. Research proves that emotional and psychological support empowers patients to navigate treatment, build resilience, develop coping mechanisms, and improve rec

overy outcomes. The Pink Place aims to address this and provides vital wellbeing services including counselling, mindfulness classes, complementary therapies, yoga therapy, and peer support to adults living with any type of cancer, from diagnosis, throughout treatment and beyond.

As part of Volunteers' Week, we'd like to shine a spotlight on someone very special, our Chair of Trustee Craig Killick ๐Ÿ’—

Craig is currently cycling solo from Athens to Basingstoke, travelling through 14 countries in six weeks.

It's an incredible challenge that requires determination, resilience and a huge amount of commitment. Yet Craig keeps pushing on, all to raise funds for The Pink Place and the women we support.

With only two weeks to go, he has already raised an amazing ยฃ19,549.42 and is so close to reaching his ยฃ20,000 target.

If you'd like to support Craig's epic challenge, you can donate here:

Last yearโ€™s relay raised an incredible ยฃ4,480, and we cannot wait to find out this yearโ€™s fundraising total.

Huge congratulations to all the winners:
