01 / How we help
Outings and experiences
Whether it's a walk around a lake, a day at the races, a concert, a helicopter flight or a theatre trip, we create real joy and excitement – memories patients and loved ones remember all their lives.
What we do
Creating memorable experiences that last a lifetime
Living Like Linda provides services to cancer patients undergoing regular chemotherapy to promote social inclusion, wellbeing and personal support. We organise outings, gatherings and gifts for those facing financial and support network barriers.

02 / How we help
Group gatherings and coffee
Regular get-togethers over coffee bring people together in a common cause, so treatment can feel a little less lonely.
03 / How we help
Gifts that make chemo easier
Gift bags of useful items for treatment days, and headwear – a turban for women or a baseball cap for men.
Our approach
Breaking down the barriers
- Remove practical barriers through transport solutions and group bookings
- Negotiate specially designated areas for chemo patients
- Bring people together in a common cause
- Provide better entertainment, reading materials and encourage interaction
- Use soft skills to improve the chemo unit experience for everyone
We measure success by
- Number of patient events created and implemented
- Life-changing and life-enhancing patient stories
- Positive testimony from chemo units
It is bad enough having cancer and living with it. Hopefully one day the scientists and medics will find a cure but until then, we must make life better for chemo patients and help them live like Linda.
