Each year this Spring edition is bittersweet, as we look back over the last year’s legacies and In Memoriam gifts. They are so special to us. And the generosity of those families makes a really valuable contribution to our work going forward. We appreciate every one. If you would like to set up a giving page in memory of someone you have loved and lost, we’d be happy to help you.

Major donation to boost ward services

One of the Fountain Centre’s key ambitions has always been to provide an appropriate service to in-patients being treated for cancer all across the Royal Surrey. We will now be able to do this, thanks to a most generous donation from the MCKS Charitable Foundation UK of £25,000. They were introduced to the work of the Fountain Centre by our Pranic Therapy volunteer, Gareth Morrissey, and we are delighted that they have decided to support our work (read more about Gareth and Pranic Therapy on page 2).

The money they have contributed will be used to employ a therapist to work Monday to Friday mornings, with cancer patients who are not able to come down to the Fountain Centre. Of course our volunteer therapists are always happy to visit the wards if they have a gap in their schedule, but most of the time they are fully booked with sessions in the Centre. And we could not expect anyone to donate 20 hours a week to us. By making this an official post, we will be able to develop a service which the ward staff and patients can depend on and access when they need it.

We look forward to developing a very fruitful partnership with our new friends from the MCKS Charitable Foundation.

Getting to know ….Dr Ffion Jones

I always enjoy when people ask this question, as it gives me the opportunity to explain how incredible and simple this complementary therapy is and how it can help people in all areas of their life.

The first confusion is around the word Pranic. It is a Sanskrit word which simply means energy. Energy is all around us, interpenetrating us and affecting every area of our life. You may be thinking you’ve never felt energy but if you’ve thought of someone before they call or feel a cold coming on before it does, then you have felt energy.

Our bodies need oxygen to survive, but also energy, as it helps power all the chemical processes that take part in our bodies. This includes digestion, diffusion of oxygen into the blood stream or empowering the immune system. Energy enters our body through different gateways all over the body known as chakras.

What is Pranic Therapy?

We all lead busy lives, and stressful or negative emotions can affect how efficient these chakras are. If they become congested or depleted they begin to not work correctly and less energy is drawn in. As certain parts of the body are deprived of energy, ailments can begin to appear. This is where Pranic Therapy can help.

It was established by a man named Master Choa Kok Sui (MCKS) in the Philippines, who was a chemical engineer, and the mindset of being an engineer helped him create Pranic Therapy which first became public in 1987. His goal was to develop a simple, effective and practical energy healing system that anyone could learn in a short period of time. He also developed many guided meditations, the Meditation on Twin Hearts becoming the most well-known.

To do this he spent 30 years investigating, testing and evaluating different healing arts with western medicine. Little was known about how these healing arts actually worked in conjunction with western medicine but through this period of measurement and validation, Pranic Therapy was developed.

Over the following years medical professionals began to take notice of positive testimonials of this complementary therapy and some began their own research as well. For example, Glenn J Mendoza, (MD & MPH) and Maria Nichole Perez (MD) began looking into the effects of doing the meditation on twin hearts regularly.

Their initial research, comparing 12 meditators (1,000 hrs of combined mediation practice)

and 12 non-meditators, showed the increase in gamma waves and levels of melatonin and serotonin. This led to a decrease in anxiety, improved sleep patterns, decreased heart rate, increased feelings of compassion, memory recall and sensory perception. They are doing follow up research now and other research can be found here: http://www.pranichealingresearch.com

Many medical professionals have now become Pranic therapists. They use Pranic therapy to complement their orthodox medical treatment which has led to an increased rate in recovery from their ailments, than if they were just treated physically. Eric Robins, a urologist in LA, co-authored “your hands can heal you” and regularly utilises Pranic therapy on his patients with great success.

Seeing how much my family has benefitted from Pranic Therapy convinced me to learn more. My mum had regular sessions when going through divorce and emotional turmoil. As did my sister who had strong allergic reactions to eggs and nuts for over 30 years. Both benefitted so much that I had to understand how Pranic Therapy worked.

I had now seen the positive impact but did not understand the mechanics. That was when I took the Level 1 course and began learning the simple yet effective techniques for myself. At the beginning of any Pranic class you’re told to not blindly believe everything, in fact anything, that is taught. Rather, go through the energy experiments in class and make your own conclusions.

I would not expect anyone to believe how incredible this no touch, energy based therapy is based on this article alone. Perhaps though, you would be curious enough to come to the Fountain Centre and try for yourselves, then make up your own mind through your own experience, not others opinions.

Gareth Morrisy

Finally, to all medical professionals, patients, carers or anyone interested reading this, we are genuinely keen to document how effective regular Pranic Therapy combined with regular orthodox medical treatment is for patients. Let there be more solid research to back up the effectiveness of

complementary therapies so we can live happier, healthier lives! If you want to discover more, come meet me in the Fountain Centre for a chat or check out the website: http://www.ukpranichealing.co.uk

Job title: Finance Assistant

Ffion will be working on Fridays, and will be doing book-keeping and finance and database stuff – so Maria is particularly glad to have her on board. She is multi-talented and amongst other things illustrates the ‘Nurse Ted’ series of children’s books.

Worked at the Fountain Centre since: March 2017

1. Give me five words to describe yourself Positive, patient (especially first thing in the morning when trying to get the kids to school on time), stubborn (apparently), arty, happy.

2. Who has been your biggest role model? My dad. He was diagnosed with throat cancer last year and underwent a laryngectomy but, despite having lost his voice, he is still extremely positive and living life to the full.

3. What are you most proud of? My two cheeky daughters Isabella and Rosa and my publishing, writing and illustrating business Belrose Books (named after my two cheeky daughters!).

4. What are your top 3 favourite books? Oliver Jeffers, “The Heart and the Bottle”: Dyan Sheldon, “The Whales’ Song”: Mitch Albom, “The Five People you Meet in Heaven.”

5. The six people (living or dead) you’d invite to a dinner party, and why? Robert Winston (because I could listen to him all day), Sarah Millican (she would make us all laugh), my four

grandparents so that my children could meet them (they were all lovely!).

6. If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you want with you? My kids and a phone to ring for a pizza delivery.

7. Marmite – yes or no? Definitely a big no.

STOP PRESS – Our new supporters, Stevens & Bolton LLP

We have just heard, and are delighted to announce that, for the next two years, the Fountain Centre will be the chosen charity of Guildford-based Stevens & Bolton LLP, one of the UK’s leading independent law firms. We thank all those staff who selected us, and will tell you more about them in the next edition.

Firstly I am delighted to be able to announce that we have a new trustee – John Hughes – who was welcomed to the Fountain Centre Board of Trustees on the 19th of April. Many will already know John from his time as representative of the Citizens Advice Bureau providing benefits advice, and more recently as a “listening” volunteer. John started his career with IBM, in IT-based business and commercial management, and worked with a number of major national and international companies. Eventually he formed his own company advising on organisational change.

As we grasp the challenges of increasing demand for our services, tighter finances and the need to embrace the rapidly evolving media and IT opportunities, John’s experience and knowledge will be invaluable, and I hope you will all join me and the Trustees in welcoming him to the board.

resignation, which we have with understanding accepted. We would like to thank him for his commitment and guidance over the last eight years. Richard was our board clinical link with the Saint Luke’s Cancer Centre, and it has become evident to him that as his sphere of activity becomes increasingly wider, he is no longer able to give the time he would wish to supporting the Fountain Centre. We wish them both continued success in their careers, and hope very much that we will continue to see them at our various functions.

With John joining, we now have a great team of nine trustees, and I would like to thank them for their time and commitment. Between us we aim to support Anne and her management team with professional advice and guidance on a wide range of business, financial and marketing skills, as well as giving help and advice

on our future direction. We meet formally four times a year to review financial performance and progress against our Business Plan, as well as to address any major issues that could affect our future. As well as providing professional support, we aim to represent the wider community we serve including patients and volunteers and welcome suggestions and applications at any time for new Trustees. The criteria are:

David Bowen Richard ShafferDavid Bowen Richard ShafferRichard Shaffer

A view from the Centre – Trustee update from Martin Read, Chairman

• Trustees need to be from the area we serve. We are committed to supporting patients of the St Luke’s, which now encompasses the whole of Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex.

• They need to be committed to the values that we aspire to and to the benefits of Complementary Therapies and support to cancer patients and their carers.

• They need to be available and willing to support the FC, not just by attending Board Meetings, but contributing to our management groups and our fund raising functions. Fund raising is a key responsibility of Trustees, without which we cannot function.

• Trustees should represent a stakeholder interest – patient, therapist / volunteer, clinician etc. – or a professional skill such as law, accountancy, investment banking, the media, PR and fund-raising.

If interested, please write to me, Martin Read at the Fountain Centre, or e-mail [email protected]

At the same time we are saying goodbye to David Bowen and Dr. Richard Shaffer. David joined us in 2009 whilst working with Peat Marwick McLintock, and has since provided us with invaluable advice and support on Corporate Governance and Financial Management matters. As his time becomes increasingly constrained by a developing career and a growing family, he has reluctantly offered his

“After spending a couple of years working with the Fountain Centre team as a Citizen’s Advice outreach adviser, I decided to move across and become what they call a Listener, chatting with patients and making appointments and tea. Anne Pike thought that I was not fully occupied in this role, a view shared by my wife, and so suggested I become a Trustee.

“I thought I could give it a try and even after sitting through a board meeting still decided to have a go. So having been examined by various board members I have become one. As a Trustee I hope to be able to bring my day-to-day experiences of working within the Fountain Centre and any relevant previous experience to help Anne and her team as they bring in new services and (if possible) improve those they are already delivering. Initially I hope to be able to assist in the joint St Luke’s/Fountain Centre patient knowledge database project.

“I look forward to continuing working with the staff and especially the patients of the Fountain Centre.”

John Hughes

In Loving Memory

Nearly £8,000 has been raised for the Fountain Centre over the last year, thanks to the thoughtfulness and generosity of people who might have more pressing things to think about. Since April 2016, many families have decided to ask for donations to the Fountain Centre as a memorial to loved ones they have lost. Others have set up JustGiving pages to raise money in memory of friends or relatives.

Of course we are extremely grateful for all the donations we receive. But somehow legacies and In Memoriam gifts feel extra special. Our particular thanks to the families and friends of:

Sarah Bevan decided to use her place in the Brighton Marathon this year to fundraise in memory of her mother, Margaret. We’ve taken her story from her JustGiving page -

“Last year I joined the Runnymede runners and it has been one of the best things I have done! I have met some fantastic people, made some great friends and I have found strength in myself I didn’t know I had. Introducing ‘the running bug’!!

“As a lot of you may know I lost my Mum 12 years ago to the dreaded word ‘cancer’ but boy did she put up a fight. She was a happy soul and certainly had some weird and wonderful ways about her. I’d like to think she has passed this down to me.

“Mum never showed us kids how the cancer got to her by always showing her sense of humour. The wind blowing her wig off, parading around the house naked – proud of her scars, jiggling her ‘boob’ whilst dancing, Mum always made us laugh.

“Although she tried to hide her pain from us I know she had some dark moments. This is where The Fountain Centre came in. A place where she could relax, be herself and forget about all the worries cancer can bring.

“I’m getting married this year and I think this will be one of my toughest challenges yet as she will not be by my side to enjoy this

special day with me. I know that the happy memories I have of her will spur me on whilst running The Brighton Marathon and supporting the Fountain Centre will hopefully help other daughters Mums who’s wigs have also blown off in the wind.”

Sarah was hoping to raise £500 – and she has more than doubled that (£1048 at the time of writing). We are very grateful to Sarah, and to Tamsin Pulfrey, who also ran the Brighton Marathon and has raised £850 – great work, ladies!

Remembering Mum

In grateful memory of Marjorie Grimmett A former patient of the St. Luke’s Cancer Centre and the Fountain Centre, Mrs Marjorie Grimmett, generously left a significant legacy to be spent on improving the care of cancer patients. A joint working party has been established by St Luke’s and the Fountain Centre to jointly appraise possible projects, which meet agreed criteria, and which will be self-sustaining from the legacy funds.

After careful analysis both parties have agreed that a project should be implemented to establish a web-based database and forum that will provide 24/7 access to information for cancer patients and their families and carers to address their needs and concerns. The database will be populated, and regularly updated, with the latest information concerning cancer care and support, and it is believed that it will be the first of its kind in the UK.

We will report on progress with the project in future editions.

Volunteers neededNo matter how much time you have available, you can make a difference to our patients. There are a variety of ways in which you can help. Welcoming visitors to the centre, supporting and listening to visitors, providing complementary therapies, counselling, classes (Yoga, Art, Music), helping with monthly support groups, fundraising, watering and maintaining the garden are just some of the ways in which you can help. Our volunteers are essential to everything we do.

If you are interested in volunteering in the Fountain Centre please contact us on 01483 406619.

We look forward to seeing you.

Wendy Stevens

26th September 1947 – 31st March 2017

Wendy worked as a volunteer at the centre from 2013. She volunteered on reception on Level A Fountain Centre. Wendy was a joyous person who was never without a smile on her face and a spring in her step. Her enthusiasm and positivity was quite infectious as anyone who came in to contact with her would testify. We would like to pass on our sincere sympathies to Wendy’s family and friends. Although she will be sorely missed by all that knew her, there is a rainbow above that is a bit more colourful!

Wendy’s family have very kindly asked that any donations be sent in her memory to the Fountain Centre via www.justgiving.com/Wendystevens47

FIASCO Cycling Club is a small Godalming and Farncombe-based club that was formed in 2015, following a fantastic Guildford – Bordeaux bike ride of 450 miles in 5 days that raised £15,000 for The Fountain Centre. The club has since become affiliated to British Cycling, has almost doubled in size since and is continuing to grow.

FIASCO is passionate about supporting local causes and in continuing the established bond, The Fountain Centre are one of FIASCO’s two supported charities, alongside the Samson Centre, a local MS charity. Going forward, The Fountain Centre logo will feature prominently on the distinctive new FIASCO club kit (see pic) and will be the beneficiary of future events and sponsored rides organised by the club. The club website www.fiasco.cc will also feature The

And after Bordeaux……

Fountain Centre and is the portal for welcoming new members.

We are delighted to hear that the good work of the Guildford-Bordeaux team continues – thanks to Duncan Pike and all involved.

The Five Pennies is a long-established fund-raising group based in Thorpe. They run events throughout the year, and decided to give the proceeds of their Christmas Fair to the Fountain Centre. We are grateful to Sue Watson and Joyce Williams, and Annie, Irene, Anne, Rose, Jackie and June, who made it such a successful day, raising £602.50.

Thanks to Elaine Barclay, who held a craft and cake sale at her office in Bracknell Forest Council. She raised a phenomenal £1100 for us!

We were delighted to be chosen as one of the first charities to benefit from the Waitrose Green Token scheme in their lovely new central Guildford branch. We joined George Abbott School and TALK Guildford to be presented with our cheques.

DON’T FORGET – if you have a local branch of Waitrose, you can nominate the Fountain Centre to be one of the ‘Charities of the Month’. Some branches have a form to fill in, others just ask for a letter. If you’d like to discuss the wording, contact [email protected].

We were delighted to find two willing and eager participants for the Royal Parks Half Marathon in October. Vanessa Redman came forward very quickly and already has her JustGiving page up and running…

It’s hard to say how much we appreciate the work done for us by in-toto Kitchens – i.e. Greg, Louise, Owen and Jordan. They have installed our new kitchen, and it looks SO MUCH BETTER. And it will mean our lovely volunteers can get rid of the rubber gloves and spend more time with the people who need us. There is a bit more cosmetic work to do, so the ‘after’ photos will have to wait till next time, but you have all been so patient – thank you.

“Have you ever been sitting in your nice warm car, waiting for the lights to change, singing along to a love song on the radio whilst pondering what’s for dinner when out of the corner of your eye you see a sweaty, puffing, red-faced 50+ year old woman in Lycra with far too many wobbly bits running alongside you?

“Is she going through a mid-life crisis or has she foolishly agreed to run the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise money and awareness of the Fountain Centre?

“Yes you guessed it – in a moment of weakness I have taken on this challenge. So if you see me pounding the streets of Knaphill and Bisley in the next few months please show some compassion: give a wave, shout some words of encouragement, or better still, stop and give me a lift home!(just kidding).

If you can, please sponsor me – I need all the incentive I can get!”

Will Abbott signed up a little later – We’ll put details of his giving page on Facebook when it is set up. We look forward to a bit of healthy competition between our two fund-raisers!

What a difference!Our next runners – Vanessa v Will

One of the raffle prizes at the Sparkle Ball, donated by Andy Owler, was several laps around the Goodwood Motor Circuit in his specially prepared ‘hot’ racing sports car. The prize was won by Keith Jones who thoroughly enjoyed his motor racing thrills.

Forthcoming Events

The garden got its spring makeover this year thanks to our friend Agata Gumbrell and her colleagues at Interserve

(Tony Byrne, Matthew Pease-Watkin, Carrine Cooper, Alex Briggs, Rachael Venditti and Edward Beachey). They had a lovely day for

it and we are grateful for their hard work – the garden is now ready for a busy summer.

Database progress - the boring admin bit….Many thanks to all those who sent back the response slip sent out with the last newsletter – in particular those who also took the opportunity of a free envelope to send donations (though that really wasn’t what the exercise was about).

You will see that we are repeating the exercise – at no additional cost to us. Some of you may have noticed the misprint on the return envelope. To make sure that we didn’t lose any replies because of that, the printers have offered to redo the mailing for us for free.

SO – if you replied last time you don’t need to do so again. But if you didn’t get round to it, please do so this time. We need as comprehensive a response as possible, and will not be able to send anything to you in the future without your explicit permission.
