ASPIRE for Humanity — a separate foundation
Treatment can end while life does not yet feel normal again. ASPIRE for Humanity offers people during and after cancer a professional, free one-to-one counseling space.
Recovery continues after treatment ends. Life after cancer asks questions that medicine does not answer — about meaning, energy, fear, work and who you are now. Sometimes the most valuable thing is someone with the time and the attention to listen.
A fixed percentage of every annual bundle an organisation buys from ASPIRE goes directly to the Foundation. Every company that gives its people space to talk, gives that same space to someone rebuilding after illness.
The first project — a 12-month pilot in the Netherlands
An average of around five conversations per participant, with flexibility according to individual need. Funding is sought from VSBfonds — an intended application of €100,000 — alongside other charitable funds, companies, societal partners and private donors.
How the pilot works
01
Adults in the Netherlands during or after cancer treatment. Participation is voluntary and free.
02
One-to-one counseling conversations of 60 minutes, online or in person, with a professional counselor. Around five conversations per person, planned together.
03
Participation, number of conversations, and anonymous participant feedback before and after the series, reported at the end of the twelve months.
A free, confidential space to talk. For people during and after cancer, and for the funds, companies and partners who want to make these conversations possible.
