The company was initially set up to support those that are going through treatment for cancer of all types. It is now open to those that are in remission or those that may be affected by cancer including carers, families and friends. The main focus of the company is to provide support to those affected by cancer in a safe, friendly and non-judgemental manner whilst offering something different, something 'outdoors' where people can take in some fresh air, where they can get some 'exercise', appreciate the wildlife and plants whilst talking in a safe environment with others in the same situation.
The stakeholders of LACE continue to be its members, those affected by Cancer. I have now set up a committee which consists of volunteers from our membership. Monthly meetings are held to discuss past, current and future events. Each committee member are themselves going through their own cancer journey or is affected by cancer in some way. The committee represent a good cross section of those, LACE was formed to support. A member of the committee attends every LACE event and regularly discuss the wants and needs of its members. Written feed back is requested randomly from members attending events (see attached). From the feedback is has been clear that all those asked find that every event has provided support and a therapy that is not available anywhere else. Requests for additional events are reviewed and provided where possible. Generally, people ask for more of the same. Having provided a trip on a London sailing barge from Maldon Essex for the past 2 years a request was received to provide more spaces, therefore the annual trip planned for 2026 I have increased the numbers by 100% from 20 spaces to 40. At present LACE events are managed through our secure Facebook page, some members are either unable or unwilling to join Facebook, therefore I have instigated the production of a new LACE website, with an open area and members only area where all event bookings will be managed. Thus, catering for those that cannot access Facebook. A request was received from a number of members that they would like to attend Colchester zoo again. This has also been planned for 2026. A request was received to provide a promotional stall in Chelmsford, designed to promote LACE and get members involved. This took place In June 2025, with over 20 members assisting on the day and numerous more donating their own art and crafts for sale. The event was a great success and has been planned for next year, 20 June 2026. This type of event not only promotes LACE, it also allows our members to feel they are contributing giving them a sense of belonging.
