Alike

Who we are

Alike is a charity with one simple mission: To end the loneliness and isolation that people impacted by cancer experience. We exist to empower our community to make meaningful connections through seamless digital experiences which help people find their sense of belonging.

We were created for people impacted by cancer, by people with cancer. Right now, three million people in the UK are living with a cancer diagnosis, and Alike aspires to bring them together, forming a community of peers with the power to support one another through some of the hardest days of their lives. Despite the fact that half of the UK population will be impacted by cancer in their lifetime - more than 80% of the people who live with it still feel isolated. This an emotional struggle that’s been proven to make cancer less manageable, and it’s one that Alike is uniquely positioned to combat.

Driven by our mission and inspired by the start-up mentality, we operate with agility and pace. In 2021, we launched our ground-breaking iOS and Android app as a space exclusively for the cancer community to connect. Now we’re looking to scale nationwide, and we need your help to do it. Alike is the only non-for-profit organisation providing a large scale, tailored peer support platform across all ages and diagnoses, whether someone’s facing a sleepless night or a lonely weekend.
