Who you’ll meet at our King’s Lynn Centre
Tonia
Charitable Operations Area Manager
Tonia
I look after operations to ensure our support centres can operate effectively and efficiently. I manage and develop new projects and services and have a keen interest in health equalities and end of life care.
Before joining Big C, I volunteered as an NHS Cancer Awareness Champion, a cause close to my heart after losing my Dad suddenly following his cancer diagnosis 6 weeks previously. I am one of six and following our father’s death support was difficult to find so when I saw that Big C was opening a support Centre in my hometown I could see the real benefit to patients and families. When I got the call to offer me the job I burst into tears! I have felt privileged and proud to be part of the charity ever since.
Frances
Centre Lead
Frances
I work in the King’s Lynn Centre and provide emotional support to our service users either by phone or in person and look after their wellbeing. I facilitate the Ladies, Carers and Bereavement groups and ensure that our service users have a safe and confidential place, where they can share personal experiences and feelings with others in similar circumstances.
I used to volunteer with Age UK. I loved interacting with the people I met and realised how important it was for them to have someone who would take the time to listen and talk to them, and also provide emotional support. I wanted a role where I could continue to do this and working for Big C has offered me this opportunity.

I work at the Bic C to help make a difference, by actively listening and empowering people affected by cancer with the information I provide.
