Victoria’s Promise has been established for 5 years, filling the critical gaps in emotional, practical, physical and social support for young women who have been diagnosed with cancer. The aim of the charity is to support and empower young women, and their families through the challenges of cancer treatment. Some of the services we offer the women are counselling for them and their immediate family, cleaning and childcare services and specialised beauty treatments including oncology massage. Alongside the support services Victoria’s Promise run Affinity workshops. Bringing together young women going through similar journeys and challenges. These get togethers remove the feeling of isolation, reduce fear and increase positivity and empowerment – all vital to their overall wellbeing, recovery and reduce recurrence. Victorias Promise are there from day one to ensure these young women can concentrate on their treatment and recovery at the same time as keeping as much stability and normality in the home.
VP Testimonials
“The support provided by Victoria's Promise stops you feeling like a patient, like a victim. They make you feel like you're being properly looked after. I didn't think anything positive would've come out of this past year, but Victoria's Promise was that positivity. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Victoria’s Promise.” Nadine
“For me, Victoria Promise has given me practical support that I needed with the changes in my body, a safe place to talk and be supported by others, information and knowledge. Victoria’s Promise is not just another cancer charity, it is a network where we feel comfortable and safe, women from all different backgrounds, with the same goal. We are young and we want to live. We will beat cancer. VP is where lifelong friendships will be made..” Yvette
