Welcome to Coping with Cancer in Leicestershire and Rutland
Coping with Cancer exists to help the people of Leicestershire and Rutland cope with the practical and emotional problems, which can arise following a cancer diagnosis. We encourage a positive attitude, with emphasis on the quality of life for each individual affected by cancer.

We offer a range of services, which can be tailored to an individual or family’s needs and requirements. These may be one-to-one services such as counselling or befriending, or in a group setting through our various activities and specific support groups.

Open every weekday, Helen Webb House, close to the centre of Leicester, offers a warm and inviting environment. Around the county, we also hold a weekly service in Market Harborough and a fortnightly service in Melton Mowbray.

Coping With Cancer was started in 1981 as a self-help group based in homes. Response to the services was overwhelming and eventually resulted in a move to our current premises funded by the Helen Webb Trust, in memory of Helen Webb who was a cancer patient.

Our services are free and available to all cancer patients, their families and carers in Leicestershire and Rutland.

Coping with Cancer in Melton Mowbray

Coping with Cancer is a local charity, dedicated over the past 27 years to giving practical and emotional support to anyone affected by cancer in Leicestershire and Rutland.
We hold a fortnightly complementary therapy service at the Samworth Centre, Burton Street, Melton Mowbray on Tuesdays from 10am - 1pm, where anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis can drop in and enjoy a relaxing aromatherapy massage, reflexology or reiki treatment by a team of qualified, experienced therapists.
There is also the opportunity to talk to staff members and other clients over a cup of tea or coffee in an informal atmosphere.
The session also gives people the opportunity to find out about the wide range of support services that our charity offers, which are available to cancer patients, their families, carers and close friends from the moment a diagnosis is made.
As a charitable organisation we do not charge for the services we offer.
