Monthly meet-up
Once a month we get together in person, somewhere different in the Netherlands each time. Relaxed, informal, and open to all our members.
About the meet-ups →Events
Find connection, support, and inspiration through our events.
Throughout the year, we organise a variety of events designed to bring people together, share knowledge, encourage wellbeing, and create meaningful connections within our community.
Whether you are looking to meet others over a coffee, learn from healthcare professionals, take part in gentle exercise, or simply enjoy spending time with people who understand, there is something for everyone. Everyone is welcome at their own pace.
Our next events are announced on Instagram @cancer_support_netherlands and in our WhatsApp community. Some events are for members only – join our community to take part.
What we host regularly
Three recurring gatherings.
Local Hive get-togethers

Talks and wellbeing workshops
Speakers, creative sessions and wellbeing workshops, in person and online.
Monthly meet-ups
Connect, talk, and simply be together.
Once a month, open to all our members, in a different place in the Netherlands each time. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, living with cancer or in remission, you will find friendly faces, open hearts and understanding ears.
Open to everyone affected
People living with any type or stage of cancer, in treatment or in remission, and the people walking alongside them.
English-speaking
Our meet-ups are run in English so that internationals, expats and non-Dutch speakers can fully take part.
No agenda, no pressure
Come as you are. Stay as long as you like. Share only what feels right. There is room for whatever the day brings.
How to find the next one
We announce every meet-up on Instagram, and in our WhatsApp community once you've joined. There is no pressure to speak and no obligation to share. Come once, or come every month.
Why attend?
More than the activity itself.
Our events are about much more than the activity itself. They are an opportunity to feel connected, supported, and inspired.
By joining our events you can:
- Meet people who understand your experience
- Learn practical information from trusted speakers
- Improve your physical and emotional wellbeing
