Reclaiming Life
When treatment ends, or becomes ongoing, many people are left unsure of what comes next. Odyssey supports people at this point, helping them rebuild confidence and feel more like themselves again.
Odyssey is a charity delivering residential programmes for people living with and beyond cancer, including those with secondary diagnoses.
Our programmes support people at a point where structured support comes to an end, but the impact on confidence, identity and everyday life remains.
The Experience
The Odyssey course is a five-day residential experience, bringing together a small group of people who understand what it means to live with and beyond cancer.
Through shared experience, challenge and encouragement, participants are supported to try new things, build confidence and focus on what they can do.
Participants often describe Odyssey as a turning point.
- 100% of participants felt more confident in dealing with uncertainty (30% increase in confidence)
- 100% felt more optimistic about the future (20% increase in optimism)
- Everyone felt an improvement in their ability to enjoy life
Research from participant surveys shows consistent improvements in confidence, motivation and outlook following an Odyssey course. Find out more about the difference we make. Past Experiences
