Supporting families through cancer and beyond

With bespoke support, WOLO brings Sussex families together for friendship and so much more.

Wolo Foundation (We Only Live Once) helps to improve the quality of life of families living in Sussex on their cancer journeys. The bespoke support they offer includes practical help and emotional support, wellness opportunities and family experiences. They work with local businesses and communities to offer all family members a wealth of services to support them through their diagnosis, treatment and beyond.

Co-founders Fler and Justin faced their own cancer journey in 2018. They found out the hard way that there wasn’t much help out there for families.

Wolo focuses on making connections and bringing families together – not only to share their challenges but to form lifelong friendships. Free family events, walks, talks, running groups and more, provide families with the opportunity to meet others on similar cancer journeys, breaking the feelings of isolation. The empathy, shared experiences and understanding, result in a strengthened support network, so families know they are not alone on their journey.

The impact of a cancer diagnosis extends beyond physical effects. Cancer also has a huge effect on mental wellness too. Wolo offers various therapies to help the whole family; the patient, partner and children. They have also developed a new, bespoke wellness course exclusively for the Wolo community.

Wolo’s impact is measured not just in numbers but in the transformation of lives. They are proud to share that 100% of families feel significantly more supported as a result of joining the Wolo community. Every connection made and every shared experience contributes to a community supported on every level.

Wolo is busier than ever, with the number of families reaching out for help quickly rising. They have lots of exciting events planned for 2024. Their unique, once-in-a-lifetime Africa 100-mile trek/run in September is the first charity event of its kind in the world. 10 days, 100 miles in the South African bush, with the release of a vulnerable species in the local area.

The Wolo 100 Club is an exciting initiative aimed at businesses to help make a difference to local families affected by cancer. To read more about the benefits of joining and to make a difference locally, please visit their website. https://wolofoundation.org/wolo-100-club

Statistics show that 1 in 2 people in the UK born after 1960 will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Life is precious – we need to make the most of it – we only live once – Wolo!
