Sue Ryder

We support people living through the challenges of life-changing illness. We support people in our residential and day centres, day clinics, in the community or at home. We help people affected by cancer, multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, motor neurone disease, stroke, brain injury and life changing illnesses.

5Rs - reenergise, reintegrate, rebuild, relax and regenerate

Our 5Rs programme run in Suffolk is a pioneering day care service which has been nationally recognised as ‘good practice’ by the Department of Health.

The 5Rs is a ten-week programme of alternative therapies and information for people living with multiple sclerosis, which aims to promote independence, choice and confidence building, devised and developed at Sue Ryder - The Chantry.

The 5Rs allows people to sign up for a ten-week planned programme of  therapeutic activities, such as yoga and music therapy and educational classes, including art and computers. Clinical specialists such as an MS nurse are also available to give helpful advice and answer questions, as well as other speakers on such topics as life changing therapy and eligibility for benefits. At the end of the ten weeks, people are encouraged to pursue a college course, hobby or therapy they have enjoyed.
