Give Five Give Life Foundation
Recovery is more than medicine.
Supporting dignity, emotional wellbeing and recovery-focused experiences for people living with serious illness and life-changing health conditions.
Who We Are
Give Five Give Life Foundation was created from real-life experience with cancer, treatment, recovery and the emotional reality behind serious illness. The Foundation focuses on dignity, emotional wellbeing, recovery-friendly hospitality and creating spaces where people can feel human again during difficult health journeys.
Building recovery-friendly support beyond medicine.
Our Current Focus
We are developing Recovery Beyond Medicine in two connected areas: practical guidance for people travelling with illness and their companions, and confidential guest-experience assessments and pilots for hotels.
Traveller perspectives help us identify what needs to change. Hotel pilots test practical improvements using existing teams, services and spaces.
