Mission
To ensure there is human connection at the heart of every cancer journey.
Theory of change
Lived experience, peer support, systemic change.
By shaping our work through the lived experiences of people affected by cancer — including those from diverse backgrounds — we provide peer-led support, build strong community connections, and advocate for a more inclusive and equitable healthcare system. Through this combined approach, we aim to improve individual wellbeing while driving systemic change.
Our Theory of Change sets out the social impact we aim to achieve; and how we plan to measure it. To ensure we're delivering on our mission, we use both qualitative and quantitative research to track progress, capturing personal stories, community feedback, and measurable outcomes that reflect real-world impact.
