YOGA 🧘‍♀️ BENEFITS

Latest study from ASCO American Society of Clinical Oncology’s (ASCO) share profound affect of practising yoga. Yoga can reduce emotional distress, anxiety, fatigue and insomnia in people living with cancer, according to the results of the first clinical trial of its kind.

Dr Fumiko Chino, a cancer researcher and associate professor in breast radiation oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center and an ASCO expert in survivorship, who was not involved with the trial, said: “This large, randomised study shows that structured yoga may help relieve some of the most consistently reported and hard-to-treat issues in cancer survivorship, leading to decreased insomnia.

“It’s an important advance because it offers survivors, who are likely already managing multiple medications, a non-pharmaceutical solution for reducing four different side-effects at once.”

🙏 - Social Action Week 💟

We were delighted to receive this lovely email recently:

Dear Julie

We are so happy to share that we raised £406 for your amazing charity throughout social action week at Hills Road Sixth Form College.

We had a great time raising money and interacting with our community to raise awareness. All of us feel that we learnt a lot through this experience and are so happy our hard work is going to a great cause.

EMOTIONAL GOODBYE

🥰 Wonderful Chrissy Eason has been offering emotional support to our members for over eight years now. She has listened and guided so many through very difficult times, both those with cancer and their families and friends.

We are sad that Chrissy is now moving away. She brought so much joy and huge experience to the centre. Having trained as a nurse she then became a social worker and finally a councillor. We were lucky to have such an empathetic and knowledgeable therapist volunteer at the centre.

Some of the team had a final dinner out with her. We wish her well and lots of luck for the next stage of her life. We’ll miss you! 🥰
