About our cause
Babons Cancer Support is a charity that exists to come alongside the local cancer community, whether they are the patient, carer, family member, colleague or friend.
Babons Cancer Support has been created in memory of Jean Spickernell (called “Babon” by her grandchildren) who lost her life to cancer in 2022. Jean was a “pocket rocket” who loved her community and always looked for ways to help others even when she needed help herself.
As a family we have experience of supporting the cancer community through counselling, but then in 2020 the stories we were hearing from others became our own as Jean was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Whilst dealing with the devastating diagnosis, the journey we experienced as a family highlighted just how much help we needed and how fast things changed on a daily basis with Jean’s care. We found much of our time was spent researching what we could access to make Jean as well cared for as possible and to maintain her independence and dignity. We felt very alone as a family with no one to guide us through.
With this in mind, support for the local cancer community was very close to Jean’s heart. Sadly she didn’t live long enough to see it happen but her family has taken up the baton and BABONS is born!
Inspired by the grandchildren, “Babon” was not only her name, but BABONS reflects exactly what Jean wanted to do for the cancer community by “Bringing A Bit Of Needed Support”.
Jean Spickernell was our mum, and because we saw what she went through during her journey with cancer, and how many holes there are to fall down – which sadly she did – we feel driven to do something to help others feel supported and cared for. We are not offering medical advice but strive to be the bridge between “hospital” and “hospice” in a handholding, compassionate and supportive way.
At Babons Cancer Support you will find support can be found by way of one-to-one counselling, support groups, drop-in emotional support, and signposting. We have also engaged services to come into our Centre and run group sessions, and one-to-one appointments, for wigs, scalp care, bra fitting and prosthetics, regularly, so that our clients know when they can see them. All our services are free of charge.
Our Centre in Tonbridge is beautiful, bright, airy, and not at all clinical. We are centrally located with great access to public transport and car parks. When you get here, we have a front door on the High Street (with 2 steps with handrail) but also rear access with disability parking and a wheelchair/walker friendly ramp. We have a lounge area at the front of our Centre which we use for our drop-in support along with regular Cancer Cafes.
We are completely self funded so the Giving Lottery is an amazing way you can support us with our work and ensure that we keep our door open from Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm, every week of the year.
Thank you for your support.
