The Helen Hillar Clinic

Helen Hillar - Helen was a young women from the North East of England, a beautiful person inside and out. Always full of life and greeted all with a smile and welcoming embrace. She had the ability to make anyone she met immediately comfortable and had a wicked sense of humor.  You'd typically find her on long country walks with her much loved dogs Pixie and Sativa, or dancing and singling the night away in a local bar. Her smile however often hid a lifetime of illness and unrelenting physical pain. 

Helen had various complex medical problems since childhood, numerous surgeries and ultimately was diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer, we tragically lost Helen to cancer in October 2021 at the young age of 35, and the world seems a darker and sadder place for not having her in it. She leaves behind family and friends who will forever miss her but hold onto her zest for life and caring nature. 

During Helens illness she continued to want to help others despite her own difficulties - she volunteered giving beauty treatments to a local hospice, she ran for Cancer UK raising fuds, she became involved in her local church, and she became aware of fundraising for a Medical Clinic to be established in a poor township in Malawi Africa, through a grass roots organisation Global Solutions Limited, which aim to bring healthcare to the most disadvantaged. 

This accessibility to healthcare - something Helen was reliant upon in the UK throughout her life, was of particular interest to Helen. Unfortunately with her deteriorating health she wasn't able to be actively involved or go out to Africa before her passing. 

​

The first Clinic will be names in memory of Helen Hillar and recognising the fundamental needs and basic human rights of all people regardless of age, sex, culture or location to health care.  Helen is bridging a symbol for GSL between the UK and Malawi, and represents reaching out to help others as she always did. 

Helen died too young, and many people continue to die too young - in some instances this is completely preventable.

Let's help keep Helen's name alive in the most beautiful way possible - LETS SAVE LIVES
