CREST Cancer Support

Jim
My name is Jim and I have worked alongside CREST Cancer Support since its inception. I am an Insurance Consultant and previously have been in Banking. I have worked alongside Judith and Joan and the team for many years and when asked if I would like to join the team as a trustee I jumped at the chance. I have been a trustee for a couple of charities and hope to bring my varied and in-depth experience as a trustee to CREST Cancer Support. I look forward to working with the team and meeting the membership at events.

Ken
May I introduce myself I am Ken and have been involved with CREST since 2004 and enjoy working with this great team of volunteers. I look forward to serving as a trustee alongside Jim, Judith and Joan (the wife) and volunteering for this wonderful charity called CREST Cancer Support.

Joan
Hello my name is Joan and I helped set up CREST in 2004 and have enjoyed being a volunteer for the charity since then. During 2018 CREST had a major structural change – this has not affected the way CREST works, but has given it more security. During this change I was asked if I would take on the role as one of the trustees by the membership. I was delighted to be asked and accepted immediately. You will find me on the other end of the phone in the office where I am always happy to talk to anyone who needs our help or just to have a chat about things. I am looking forward to serving as a trustee as well as continuing as a volunteer for CREST Cancer Support.

Judith
Hello I am Judith and I am the Treasurer and fellow trustee of CREST Cancer Support CIO. Like many of us, my family and friends have been affected by cancer. I am delighted to be able to have a positive role in cancer support.

Jenny
I was introduced to CREST by a friend and benefited from attending a few Relaxation Days as a patient. On retiring in 2015 I thought I would like to use some of my free time and become a volunteer for CREST and have greatly enjoyed working with the team. I help to organise the social events.

Sandra
I joined CREST in 2010 as a cancer patient and after attending a Relaxation Day decided I would like to volunteer. I keep the database up to date with new members.

Dan
My name is Dan and I've been volunteering with CREST since 2021. I was introduced to CREST by The Richmond Fellowship Project as I was very keen on doing some voluntary work and CREST seemed the perfect fit. To have the opportunity to make a difference to people's journeys through the disease and come out on the other side is an amazing thing to do. It's the difference it makes that's worth it.

Karen
I joined crest in December 2022 via my local volunteer support group. I was looking to offer my time to a local Charity needing office Admin assistance and Crest were looking for volunteers. I have lost loved ones to cancer and feel very lucky to be assisting such a great team and Charity.

Ingrid
I am a retired publications designer and complementary therapist. I worked for 14 years in the NHS, specialising in cancer and palliative care. I enjoy volunteering for CREST, which provides excellent support for patients and carers.
