Wellbeing Programme

At the Olive Tree we have a successful wig recycling scheme, a drop
in group, access to Macmillan welfare and benefits advice as well as an
ever increasing range of classes,  workshops and courses all of which
form part of our wellbeing programme to support you through your cancer
treatment and beyond.

Wig Service (Crawley centre)

We have a good selection of wigs at the Olive Tree for you to try, some are brand new and many others have been donated.
Anyone needing a wig is welcome to come and browse through our selection
in private at the centre. We do not charge for wigs, but donations are
always welcome. We also have a selection of scarves, bandanas and hats.

If you would like to donate a wig to us so that it can be used by another cancer patient, please get in contact - we are very grateful for such donations.

Yoga Therapy

Yoga can help us to strengthen the immune system and encourage our
inner healing. It is a holistic healing system that creates harmony and
balance on all levels of our being.

Classes are held at Crawley on Fridays from 10.30 to 11.30 am, and at Horsham on Wednesdays from 11am to 12 noon.
