Communities against Cancer

Communities Against Cancer is a project to reach those who may not have previously fully understood or have felt unable to act upon public health advice in regards to cancer awareness and prevention.

Here you will find information on cancer prevention, signs and symptoms of cancer, information about cancer screening and useful resources attached which you can access and print to share with others.

Funding has been provided by Wessex Cancer Alliance to provide grants to individuals, groups and not for profit organisations to be creative and find ways to engage with the people they’re supporting to get across key cancer messages. We know that cancer is more treatable the earlier it is diagnosed so we want people to be able to identify when they need to speak to their GP about a health concern. If they are aware of possible cancer symptoms or know to go to the GP when something changes for them or they notice something unusual, then we can help people get diagnosed earlier. This will then give them a better chance of having their cancer treated successfully.
