The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity was set up in her name. The charity funds and operated four cancer support centres – two in Essex, one in Hertfordshire and a fourth in London. Lord Coe is the charity's patron.
The charity also funds an extensive research programme into the disease. A team of scientists are working on a number of projects at the Helen Rollason Laboratory based at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford, Essex. A dedicated team of research nurses meanwhile care for cancer patients on clinical drug trials.
