The team explained their long-term vision, the growing number of people they are supporting and the costs of maintaining this support, as they took the Winchester & Chandler's Ford MP around their premises.
Steve was shown the various services and rooms on offer at the Winchester Support Centre, including counselling, reflexology, reiki, aromatherapy and massage, which is open Monday to Thursday 10am-430pm.
Volunteer Nicci Roberts, who is also a primary school teacher at St Peter's in Winchester, said: "The centre is so busy, we are finding that more and more people are wanting to access this non-clinical support.
"We are now open four days a week and we are needing to provide more therapists to meet the demand. Cancer patients, their family and friends can just drop in, and the staff here have such a brilliant understanding of what is needed to help support them."
Steve Brine said: "Many people will know of the Wessex Cancer Trust, and their shop in Stoney Lane, but may not know how much goes on at their Winchester base. It's an extraordinary place of support and advice for people fighting cancer and their families.
"We must as a country do so much better in early diagnosis and treatment for cancer, and innovations such as the Be Clear on Cancer campaign and the Cancer Drugs Fund are important, but the support WCT offer local people when they are facing the battle of their lives is invaluable.
"They are a smashing team and it was a pleasure to meet them and hear of their work locally."
In addition to the St Georges Street centre, Wessex Cancer Trust operates in Southampton, Romsey and Hythe, while their busy shop, on Stockbridge Road in Weeke offers a range of goods including designer clothes and high quality household items.
