Welcome to Adamas — You Don’t Have to Face Cancer Alone
When cancer touches your life, everything changes. But at Adamas, you don’t have to go through it on your own. Whether you are a patient, a loved one, or someone dealing with loss, we are here to walk beside you — with care, compassion, and support tailored to your needs.
A safe place. A listening ear. A helping hand.
At Adamas, we focus on more than the illness — we focus on you as a person. We help both adults and children strengthen their resilience and improve their quality of life, no matter where they are in the cancer journey: diagnosis, treatment, recovery, or coping with grief.
Our support is non-medical but deeply meaningful. We listen, guide, and offer a place where you can just be — without judgment, pressure, or expectations.
What we offer
Every person is different — and so is every need. That’s why we offer a wide variety of activities and support options, including:
-
One-on-one conversations with trained volunteers who simply listen
-
Positive Health coaching to help you regain balance
-
Peer support groups — share experiences with others who understand
-
Creative activities: painting, creative writing, workshops
-
Relaxation & enjoyment: sound healing, cooking, book club, pamper days
-
Vitality & movement: yoga, pilates, massage, walking, swimming
-
Informative sessions on living with cancer and its challenges
-
Family support: guidance for children, parents, and teachers
Whether you want to talk, create, relax, move, or learn — you are welcome.
Where you’ll find us
-
Our warm and welcoming Adamas Center in Nieuw-Vennep — the heart of our activities.
-
In partnership with Spaarne Gasthuis and Antoni van Leeuwenhoek Hospital (Hoofddorp), where our volunteers provide onsite support for patients and their families.
We also organize activities in nearby locations — from swimming and walking in nature to workshops in surrounding towns.
Warmth, expertise, and experience
You’ll be welcomed by our team of over 100 specially trained volunteers and professionals. Every volunteer receives expert training and continuous support to offer you the best care possible. Our five coordinators ensure everything runs smoothly, so you can focus on what matters most: yourself.
You are not alone
Adamas is here for anyone affected by cancer — whether you’re 4 or 94, a patient, a loved one, or a healthcare professional. You are always welcome to walk through our doors, with or without an appointment.
