Why Mission Remission?
90% of people feel the time after cancer treatment is just as traumatic as the diagnosis. Our vision is for everyone to live a happy, healthy, independent life after cancer and we plan to improve the experience of recovery for every cancer survivor in the UK.
Mission Remission is the only UK charity solely dedicated to supporting cancer survivors. Through our digital platform, we’ve created a community helping tens of thousands of people share positive stories and practical strategies. With the help of our volunteer clinicians and mental health specialists, we support survivors move forward with their lives.
In the four years we’ve been running, we’ve reached hundreds of thousands of people. Over 80% of survivors say we’ve helped their wellbeing and our stories and strategies have been voted helpful over 20,000 times.
In 2021/22 we've been focusing on our ‘Something’s Not Right’ campaign which calls for system and health policy change to ensure people are treated quickly.
We're looking to grow our small trustee team and are now searching for a marketing specialist to join us to help more people feel happy, healthy, and independent after cancer. If this might be you, please get in touch!
