As spring begins to bloom, we’re pleased to share a few highlights with you.
A Visit from CooperBurnett
This month, we were delighted to welcome Senior Associate Katie Hancock and Solicitor Courtney Magnus from the Private Client team at CooperBurnett LLP to The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre.
During their visit, they met with our Centre Manager, Caroline McGibney, and Deputy Chair of Trustees, Angela Ward, who shared more about the work we do and the support we offer to those affected by cancer.
Based on Monson Road in Tunbridge Wells, Pickering provides support to anyone with a cancer diagnosis, as well as their family and friends. This year is a particularly exciting one for us, as we recently celebrated our 21st birthday and are looking ahead to our move into a new, larger building just a few doors down.
Our new home will give us the opportunity to offer even more therapies and support in a fully accessible environment, helping us to continue growing and supporting even more people in our community.
Celebrating International Women’s Day
March also marked International Women’s Day, and we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the incredible women who give so much of their time and care to Pickering.
Our wonderful volunteers play such an important role in keeping the Centre running smoothly, offering kindness, compassion and support to everyone who walks through our doors.
Their dedication makes a real difference every single day, and we are so grateful for all that they do.
To all the amazing women who help make Pickering what it is — thank you.

Treatment Spotlight: Reflexology
At The Pickering Cancer Drop-In Centre, we offer a range of treatments and therapies to support our visitors’ wellbeing — including Reflexology.
These treatments are available to visitors who attend the Centre on a regular basis, offering a moment of calm, comfort and care alongside the emotional and practical support we provide.
Reflexology is based on the idea that the feet and hands contain ‘reflex’ points which correspond to different organs and systems throughout the body. By applying gentle pressure to these points, therapists aim to encourage the body’s natural healing processes.
Many of our visitors find reflexology to be a deeply relaxing and restorative experience.
A Visit from The Exiles
This month, we were also very pleased to welcome The Exiles to the Centre.
The Exiles have supported Pickering for many years, and we are incredibly grateful for their continued kindness and generosity. One of the ways they support us is through their annual St George’s Lunch, which has become a valued tradition and an important fundraiser for the Centre.
We’re always touched by the support of our local community, and visits like these mean so much to us.
Thank you to The Exiles for your ongoing support.
