Amelie helps to live life with cancer.
In the last months, as usual, Amelie continuously provided psychosocial assistance to adults with cancer and their close ones - through direct work and education in the field of psychosocial help. Direct work with the clients took place in the Amelie Centers, the volunteer program in hospitals, the Amelie Line and other projects. Amelie is the only organization in the Czech Republic that provides comprehensive psychosocial support to the target group in a systematic and professional manner. The only one has a registered social service for this target group. It operates on the health-social border. Its services are linked into a unified system in which support activities are methodically linked. The organization operates in Prague, Liberec, Olomouc, Hradec Králové and the Central Bohemian Region. Support to oncological patients was also provided on telephone or by e-mail on the Amelie Helpline throughout the Czech Republic. During the period, over 1300 contacts were made as part of these services with patients or their relatives in individual or group activities.
In March 2025, Amelie traditionally organized the 13th annual Tulip Month campaign.
The aim of the campaign is
– to inform the public about what psychosocial support is and why it is needed
– to offer the possibility of specific assistance to patients in hospitals in the form of voluntary activity in the implementation of the project
– to offer various options for financial support for the free services of the Amelie Center
– to enable patients and healthcare professionals in hospitals to express their support in a simple way
The unprecedented interest of the public exceeded our expectations and brought hope where it is needed most.
During the campaign, an incredible more than 6 thousand pictures, cards and small products arrived at the Amelie organization. These gifts decorated 15 hospitals, specifically 32 oncology and hemato-oncology departments. Over 100 institutions and dozens of dedicated volunteers participated in the event.
The public demonstrated extraordinary solidarity not only by sending gifts, but also by actively participating in charity events. These are key to financing free psychosocial assistance to cancer patients and their families in the Czech Republic.
