For Everyone Touched By Cancer

How We Started And What We Do

How We Started

Our CEO Dr Shara Cohen Is Now A Fellow Of The Royal Society Of Biology

Cancer Care Parcel was founded by Dr. Shara Cohen after her own breast cancer diagnosis in 2013. Confronted with the challenges of appointments, work, and the reactions of friends, she realized the need for moments of peace and reflection amidst the chaos. Dr. Cohen created Cancer Care Parcel to provide such moments for others facing cancer, offering thoughtfully curated parcels to bring comfort and show support.

Despite being a limited company, Cancer Care Parcel operates at a loss, with Dr. Cohen funding the company from her own pocket and not taking any dividends. All income is dedicated to supporting the cancer community.

I set up Cancer Care Parcel to bring back a bit of calm into the lives of people suffering with cancer and its treatment

In 2024 Shara was awarded a British Empire Medal for services to Women in Stem and to Cancer Patients and their families.

Our Mission

At Cancer Care Parcel, we are committed to offering support and comfort to those affected by cancer through a wealth of information, resources, and community engagement. We focus on the needs of individuals at every stage of their cancer journey, from diagnosis to treatment and beyond. This includes support for friends, loved ones, and those who know someone with cancer, including family, children, and parents.

Our mission is to create a comprehensive platform that addresses the diverse needs of the cancer community by using income to provide:

  • Informative Articles: Expertly written articles offering valuable insights and practical advice for every stage of the cancer journey.
  • On-Demand Webinars: Accessible webinars covering a wide range of topics, from treatment options to mental health support, available anytime.
  • Live Workshops: Engaging live workshops that bring together individuals touched by cancer, fostering a sense of community and shared understanding. Our events cover a broad range of topics relevant to the cancer journey, including survivorship, caregiving, mental health support, treatment options, and lifestyle strategies. We strive to keep these events free or low-cost, funded by our gift and product sales and sponsorships.
  • Donating Cancer Care Parcels: One of the ways we give back to the cancer community is by donating free Cancer Care Parcels to those who could use a little extra love during their cancer journey. These parcels are carefully curated to bring comfort, joy, and practical support when it's needed most.
  • Partnering with Cancer Charities: Partnering with us supports charity fundraising, as we donate a portion of the profit from each sale of specific gift boxes. We also help increase awareness of your charity through our fundraising campaigns and by allowing you to submit articles for our "Talking Cancer" section and monthly e-newsletter. We share relevant links on our social media platforms, and you can post details of your charity in our International Cancer Directory.
