Sheffield-based cancer charity offering free-of-charge therapy packages for cancer patients and their loved ones.

About us

Since 1991, we’ve been there for people across South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. From our centre at 34 Wilkinson Street, we offer free of charge support to people who need us. Imagine you have just come out of the hospital after your first consultation of being told you have cancer. Who would you talk to? Would you pick up the phone to a loved one or friend, but not want to worry them? Or would you sit quietly and try to deal with this news yourself? That’s what we are here for, to support you and your family, whoever needs a bit of help along the way. We are a local charity based in Sheffield and the city region which supports people with the effects that cancer has on their mental health and emotional wellbeing. A cancer diagnosis has a huge impact on patients and their families. The doctors and hospitals do an amazing job on the medical side and in treating the disease. Where we step in is in treating the person and how they’re feeling inside. You could say we do the human stuff. As a charity, we offer free of charge counselling and therapies such as reflexology, shiatsu, and relaxation, to help people to come to terms with what is happening to them or their loved one. We rely almost entirely on the generous support of volunteers, fundraisers and donors. The runners, bakers, party-makers and bucket-shakers. We receive a small amount of NHS funding but this only covers the cost of keeping our doors open for two weeks. If you’d like to get involved, give us a call or contact fundraising@cavcare.org.uk - we’re grateful to everyone who supports us. If you want to know more, don’t hesitate to get in touch, or visit our website cavcare.org.uk. Cavendish Cancer Care; our strength is helping you recover yours.

    Who doesn't love a Minecraft Coin Collector?! Over the last 12 months, Danny has been designing, modelling and creating this amazing fundraising coin collector as part of his Design & Technology GCSE. Tasked with supporting a community organisation find a solution to a problem, we worked with Danny to explore ideas to encourage donations at our Tim Pryor Centre. As we have a busy Children's and Young People's Service this is a great addition and will hopefully be a fun way for children to get involved and support Cavendish when they come by the centre. If you're popping by, drop a coin or two in and see it drop through!

    Does your workplace support charities? Could you put Cavendish forward to be supported? We are fortunate as a local charity, to work with lots of local businesses who want to engage in charity work. There are lots of ways they can do this, whether that is through a formal Charity of the Year partnership, corporate donations, sponsorship, payroll giving or workplace fundraisers. We'd love to talk to more companies who could support us and choose Cavendish for their next charitable endeavour. If you can help our at all, let our team know at hello@cavcare.org.uk

    What a beautiful day we had on Friday with the team from Secure Power! They hosted their first charity golf day and have raised a phenomenal amount for our work here at Cavendish (total to be announced soon 👀) We never underestimate the amount of work that goes into putting on a fundraiser, especially above and beyond the usual day jobs. A huge thank you on behalf of all of our clients to Andrew Morley 🔋 and Alicia Hewitt (and all of their teams) for making this such a success. Looking forward to 2025!

    Well done to the team at Leonard Curtis who completed the Yorkshire 3 Peaks last month and raised an incredible £2300 for Cavendish Cancer Care. The team had fantastic weather (maybe a little too hot at times) and completed the peaks as team. It was a day full of team camaraderie, motivating one another and supporting each other as a team. Well done to all who completed this incredible challenge and raised a brilliant amount to help local families affected by cancer. Thank you!

    We've had the fantastic The Lady in the Bay Window - William C. Grave at the Centre today for a cheque presentation of over £30,000! We can never express how thankful we are for William's support, selflessly donating all of the profits from his book, and audio book to help other families. William's donations can help us to provide a full package of support to 197 adults in our area who have been affected by cancer. Thank you William!

    The lovely Rowan Andrews was the lucky Cavendish Euros Sweepstake winner in the Steel City Marketing Ltd team earlier this week! Rowan was guaranteed a win as she had pulled both England and Spain out of the hat! 👏 She also decided to donate all of the sweepstake donations to Cavendish instead of keeping half for herself, even on her birthday! We had other sweepstake winners from Freeths, MattressOnline, EPLS Design and more - these collectively raised £400 for Cavendish, Thank You!😃 🧡
