Who we are

The charitable side of The Yeleni Support Centre offers up to 9 free complementary therapy sessions to people with cancer and chronic illness to help them cope with the rigors of their conventional treatments. We also offer ongoing support via workshops and support groups. Through our connection with Herefordshire Carer Support we also provide free therapy sessions for carers. Anyone can have therapies at our Centre and £10 of every paid therapy session goes to support the charity.

What we do

According to NHS statistics 25% of the local Herefordshire population will have cancer or chronic illness at some point which equates to 44,000 people. We offer to anyone, young or old somewhere to come and sit and have a chat and a cup of tea or a therapy which can really help someone cope with their illness on a day to day basis. We also reach out to carers who also have an opportunity to talk about their problems and feel supported. We help people regain a sense of physical & emotional health.

Many of the people who have experienced their free sessions have had things like this to say;”I always look forward to my regular visits knowing that I shall get relief of my constant pain.” “The Centre has been my saviour over the past couple of years and has got me through the trauma of a heart attack and breast cancer.I am now so positive about the future”.”I came out feeling completely re-energised and recharged ready to face the world again without the constant pain I usually live with.”

Why we need you

The Yeleni Therapy & Support Centre receives no government funding so all of our money comes from private grants and sponsorships. In this current financial climate it is hard to find organisations willing to help, as every penny counts.

It currently costs £315 to offer each person 9 free therapy sessions, which includes paying the therapist and the ongoing running costs of the centre.
