Our biggest news is that we launched the country wide campaign “Lift the darkness around cancer” with support of the global creative agency. The campaign was ongoing in 12 cities across 56 locations. As a result, we received over 100 requests for psychological support and are actively working on increasing the number of groups of psychological support.
We also participated in XII Congress of Oncologists of Russia, which took place in Samara. Every year this event gathers professionals in the oncology field to discuss any changes or improvements in treatments. We are pleased to finally see the psychological aspect of cancer treatment taking part in these discussions.
As for our results, we were able to help over 300 people over May-Aug 2023 and conducted around 130 events. We continued carrying out groups of psychological support, art therapy, drawing classes, book lovers club, yoga and dancing. We are happy to announce that our group of psychological support for relatives has started and ongoing and we are planning to launch the second group as well due to high demand.
Our regional offices in Yaroslavl, Voronezh, Samara, and Orenburg also continue having various events starting with museum visits and arranging a 5K run to our all time favorite art therapy and master classes in painting, knitting and brooch making.
We are so happy you’ve been with us all this time, through bad and good times and we really hope for your continuous support and help so that we can continue helping a lot of people during such difficult times.
