Northern Cancer Voices occupies a unique space between communities and systems. We do not simply deliver support, collect feedback, or sit on committees in isolation. We connect people’s real, lived experiences of cancer with the organisations that design, fund and deliver services ensuring insight leads to action, not just conversations. NCV’s uniqueness is not what we do, it is where we sit and how we move between worlds.
We work to influence decision-makers, laws, and resource allocation.
We work to support those affected by a cancer diagnosis through peer support groups and by facilitating collaboration between health professionals and patients and their carers.
We work to make sure everyone has access to information and support available.
