**Buddy System Programme Description:**
The Buddy System is an initiative designed to provide emotional and
practical support to newly diagnosed cancer patients through a team of
dedicated volunteer buddies. The programme includes the following
key elements:
**Volunteer Support:**Trained volunteer buddies are paired with newly
diagnosed cancer patients to offer friendship, encouragement, and
emotional support during an incredibly challenging time.
**Hospital Assistance:**Buddies accompany patients to and from
hospital appointments, providing both emotional reassurance and
practical assistance.
**Meal Delivery:**Volunteers deliver free, nutritious meals once a week to
newly diagnosed cancer patients, helping to support their physical
health and reduce the stress on patients and their families.
In addition to the Buddy System, Bonded Thru Cancer runs free
workshops focused on diet and exercise. These workshops are offered
to a wide range of participants, including:
- Volunteers,
- Members of the medical profession,
- Members of the public who are supporting cancer patients,
- Newly diagnosed cancer patients themselves.
The workshops aim to empower participants with practical knowledge
and tools to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of cancer
patients.| ||**Public Benefit**
The primary public benefit of this programme is an improvement in the
physical and mental wellbeing of newly diagnosed cancer patients.
Through the Buddy System and workshops, the programme aims to:
- Enhance coping mechanisms for patients by addressing emotional
and practical needs,
- Reduce symptoms of poor mental health, such as anxiety and
depression,
- Improve physical health and resilience, thereby supporting the
effectiveness of initial medical treatments.
The programme extends its benefits to the wider community, including:
- Medical professionals, who gain greater insight into the needs of
patients,
- Volunteers, who experience the personal reward of helping others,
- Family members and members of the public, who are better equipped
to support loved ones with cancer.| ## **Evaluation and Monitoring:** To ensure the programme is effective and impactful, Bonded Thru Cancer conducts the following evaluations: 1. **Pre- and Post-Workshop Surveys:** - Newly diagnosed cancer patients and their family members complete surveys about their mental health and wellbeing before attending the workshops and again after completing them. These surveys assess changes in emotional resilience, coping mechanisms, and overall outlook. 2. C **ommunity Dinner Programme Surveys:** - Participants in the meal delivery programme complete surveys to measure their sense of connectedness, confidence, and general outlook both before and after receiving their meals. The results of these surveys enable Bonded Thru Cancer to continually refine and improve the programme, ensuring it delivers maximum public benefit. By addressing both emotional and physical needs, the Buddy System and its associated workshops make a meaningful difference to the lives of cancer patients and their communities, fostering hope, resilience, and improved wellbeing. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers.
