Lymphoma Action is the UK's only charity dedicated to lymphoma – the fifth most common cancer.
Our grant in 2023 helped to fund a ‘Live Your Life’ coordinator, whose role includes developing and rolling out new online modules for peer-led courses, creating resources, organising workshops and training volunteer facilitators. It also helped fund the first face-to-face National Conference, which supported 11,239 people.
Jacqueline, who benefitted from the 'Live Your Life' programme, said:
“I had such a great time on the course, and it highlighted some of those unknowns after cancer treatment that you may experience and worry about, like nutrition, sex and intimacy, and feelings and concerns around relapse. The nuances of returning to society after being out of action are quite tricky to navigate. Your body changes in ways you don’t expect so it was great to be on a course with others who had been through lymphoma as well”.
