Lisa Fleming

The House of Hope was founded by Lisa Fleming, following her own diagnosis with secondary breast cancer in 2017. Over the last 6.5 years along with her husband, Lisa has immersed herself within the cancer community, successfully raising over £2 million for secondary breast cancer research, support, and education as the founder of Make 2nds Count. 

 As part of this ‘role’, public speaking across the UK, forging relationships on and offline with other patients living with or impacted by breast cancer, Lisa identified a gap in wellbeing and holistic support provision within her hometown of Edinburgh. 

 Lisa is a service user and patient champion of Future Dreams House in London, which is currently the only dedicated breast cancer support centre in the UK and has experienced first-hand as a patient the positive impact that such a service can have on the emotional and physical wellbeing of someone living with breast cancer.  

With the support of her husband Euan and the advisory board, Lisa is dedicated to creating a safe haven for users to access funded wellbeing and holistic therapies and services away from the sterile hospital or clinical setting.
