“Pam and I attended Hummingbird CSG when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. The group was caring and helped us through some dark times. After Pam passed away, I continued to attend as I find it helps with my grief. I hope I can support others going through the same thing.”

“We discovered Hummingbird CSG when my husband was diagnosed with cancer. After my husband died, I continued to attend. It’s lovely to have the treatments available but mostly it’s great to share the company of others, have a chat and enjoy tea and cake. The team running the group are wonderful as are the therapists and volunteers.”

Volunteers play a pivotal role in the success and impact of the Hummingbird Cancer Support Group.
As a community-based organisation, we rely heavily on the dedication and passion of our incredible volunteers to provide essential services to those affected by cancer. The importance of volunteers cannot be overstated. They bring diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives that enrich the support offered to people with cancer and their families. At Hummingbird, volunteers engage in various activities, from organising events and fundraising to offering emotional support and practical assistance.
One of the key support services we provide is our range of complementary therapies, including Reiki, Reflexology, Massage, Indian Head Massage, and Beauty treatments. These therapies, administered by qualified volunteers, help alleviate stress and promote relaxation for those affected by cancer. Additionally, the social support offered by volunteers creates a sense of community and belonging, which is vital for individuals navigating the often-isolating journey of cancer treatment.
Volunteers are the backbone of the Hummingbird Cancer Support Group. As it is Volunteer Week from June 3rd – 9th, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who volunteers their time. Their commitment and compassion make it possible for us to provide comprehensive support to people who are affected by cancer. Hummingbird sessions are held at South Mill Arts, Bishop’s Stortford, every Monday from 10:30-13:30.

Hummingbird Cancer Support Group acknowledges the profound emotional and mental toll cancer has on individuals. Hence, we extend an array of therapies to aid our members through their treatment, including physical complementary treatments like Reiki, Reflexology, Massage, Indian Head Massage, and Beauty treatments.
These therapies deliver crucial physical support, fostering relaxation, mitigating pain, and enhancing overall well-being. For instance, Reiki, Reflexology, and Massage alleviate symptoms such as stress, fatigue, and discomfort, offering solace and respite.
Situated at South Mill Arts Centre, our group is run by local volunteer therapists. Our Monday sessions provide a friendly and hospitable setting for patients to access support close to home. Committed and professional our therapists ensure empathetic care and personalised support aligned with everyone’s needs and preferences.

20 YEARS OF Hummingbird Cancer Support Group.
We celebrated 20 years of this wonderful charity yesterday.
We were delighted to be joined by Lesley Roberts, wife of our founder Adrian Roberts.
Also in attendance were Gloria Carter and Linda Clayden.
Gloria was the first person to receive a treatment at the group in the kind hands of Linda who is a reflexologist👣
The objective of the group is to support cancer patients and their families by offering holistic therapies in a non clinical place and as part of our wonderful group of volunteers.
The group meet Great Hadham Country Club every Monday from 10 til 1pm.
There will be NO meeting this Monday.
We'll see you all again next week 💜
