Communities Against Cancer is a project about cancer awareness and prevention, helping people understand how to reduce their risk of cancer and how to stay healthy. It is also about helping people understand how important it is to contact their Doctor if they notice an unusual symptom. This may be particularly relevant for communities who face poorer health outcomes and health inequalities.
Despite covid-19 and the current lockdown, cancer hasn’t stopped. It is even more important that we keep talking about cancer and support all communities to become more aware and knowledgeable in their own health needs.
Grants are available for individuals, groups and not for profit organisations for creative ways to promote key cancer messages.
