Alike

ALike Cancer is a UK-based digital peer-support app and community platform designed to support adults living with or beyond cancer. Created by ALike, a registered charity, the app provides a safe and inclusive online environment where users can connect with others who truly understand the challenges of life with cancer. Its primary focus is on reducing isolation and loneliness, offering a platform for adults to share experiences, ask questions, exchange tips, and provide mutual support throughout diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

The app was developed in partnership with cancer care professionals, patient advocates, and digital safety experts to ensure that the platform is both supportive and secure. Users can interact through community posts, one-to-one messaging, and topic-based discussions, all moderated according to strict guidelines to maintain a respectful and safe environment. ALike Cancer places strong emphasis on peer-to-peer support, enabling individuals to connect with others who share similar diagnoses, experiences, or interests, while ensuring privacy and safety through robust moderation and clear community standards. The app is free to download and use, with no healthcare referral required, and is aimed at adults aged 18 and over who are affected by cancer, including those in treatment and survivors.

ALike ensures a trusted, safe, and empathetic digital space for connection and support. While the platform focuses on emotional and social wellbeing, it is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health advice, and users are encouraged to seek clinical guidance where needed.
