The Lynda Jackson Centre, located at the Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, is one of the first organisations of its kind to provide support, information and holistic care to people affected by cancer. The centre provides support for patients and families, helping them cope with all aspects of cancer from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

The centre works closely with clinical staff to ensure that complementary therapies are provided alongside conventional treatments and procedures are fully integrated with a holistic approach that deals with the patient as a whole person, and not just with the disease.

Therapies and wellbeing services that we fund include:

• Relaxation sessions
• Ear acupuncture
• Massage and aromatherapy
• Reiki
• Reflexology
• Qigong
• Cancer hair care

The centre is named after Lynda Jackson, a former patient at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre who died at the age of 31. Lynda's family and friends raised a substantial amount of money in her memory to launch the fundraising for the centre that was to come to bear her name. 

The Lynda Jackson Centre is partially funded by the NHS, but we rely on voluntary donations and fundraising events to fund the remainder of our £132,000 costs each year. We are very grateful to those who are kind enough to help us continue to fund the centre.
