Who we help
If you’re here, something has changed.
We work alongside people navigating cancer and work, the carers supporting them, the workplaces wanting to do well by their people, and the healthcare professionals who refer them. Wherever you are in this — there’s a place to start.
When people come to us
People often come to us when they’re:
You don’t need to have it all worked out. Most people reach out at one of these moments.
Unsure how to talk to their employer, manager or colleagues about a diagnosis.
Trying to stay in work during treatment, but finding it difficult.
Planning to return to work and feeling uncertain about capacity or confidence.
Balancing work with treatment, recovery and self-care.
Rethinking their work, purpose or career direction after a diagnosis.
Wanting to support someone — a colleague, employee, family member — but not sure how.
I am a different person now. I don’t know what my capacity is — physically or cognitively.
Person navigating cancer and work
What this looks like
Three different journeys. The same care.
Staying connected during treatment
“I didn’t know how to keep working — or where to start.”
For many, the diagnosis itself is overwhelming. Add work into the picture — what to share, when, with whom, and how — and it’s a lot to carry alone.
“I didn’t know how I was going to keep working, or even where to start.”
- Have more confident conversations with their employer
- Put practical adjustments in place
- Stay connected to work in a way that works for them
Rebuilding confidence after treatment
The end of treatment isn’t the end of the experience.
Confidence, energy and direction can all be affected. Friends, family and colleagues often see treatment ending as the moment to “move on” — but this is often when people most need support.
“The network helps me explore new career options and reminds me I’m not alone.”
- Rebuild confidence and direction
- Make informed decisions about work and the future
- Connect with others who understand what they’re going through
Supporting an employee with cancer
Most managers want to help — many don’t have the tools.
Without guidance, supporting an employee with cancer can feel uncertain for both the manager and the team. Wanting to do the right thing isn’t the same as knowing how.
“We didn’t have a plan. We tried our best, but without a process, it was challenging.”
- Retain experienced and valued employees
- Support managers to lead with clarity and confidence
- Strengthen trust, engagement and workplace culture
Wherever you are in this
There is a place to start.
