Cancer Support for Business Owners
If you are self-employed or run a small business, a cancer diagnosis can affect much more than your health. It can impact your income, your ability to work, the day-to-day running of your business and the people who depend on you.
Stronger Together Through Cancer provides dedicated support for small business owners across Kent dealing with cancer, helping you navigate both the personal and professional impact of diagnosis, treatment and beyond.
Through tailored support, practical guidance and access to trusted services, we help you understand your options, protect your business and give it the best possible chance of remaining viable while you focus on your health.
Whether you have recently been diagnosed, are going through treatment or are trying to manage the longer-term impact of cancer alongside running your business, you do not have to work everything out alone.

Hectic Lifestyles Limited, trading as Nutra Direct, manufactures a range of sports and nutritional supplements designed for people with busy lifestyles. Products are sold through their website and branded retail partnerships. The organisation operates from a manufacturing site in Strood, Rochester, employing around 140 staff.
In 2024 Nutra Direct was awarded a Platinum Healthy Medway Workplace Award.
Over the years, the organisation has significantly strengthened its Staff Wellbeing Programme. Improvements include more consistent workplace communication, regular team catch-ups, and open access to senior managers through drop-in sessions. Staff are encouraged to share ideas and raise concerns, with voucher incentives provided where suggestions lead to positive changes. The business has also introduced resilience training, a dedicated staff wellbeing day, and access to a financial consultant to support staff with tax, visa and pension queries.
Nutra Direct has also actively supported staff health through participation in a CVD Check pilot. Building on this, the organisation ran an in-house stop smoking group.
