Announcing Our New Partnership with Triage

June 17, 2026

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Northern Cancer Voices and Triage, rooted in a shared commitment to a whole-person approach and to supporting people through the realities of cancer and life beyond it.

A cancer diagnosis brings far more than physical health challenges. People are often navigating emotional stress, financial pressure, employment concerns, and uncertainty about the future, both during treatment and long after it ends. Too often, these wider impacts are overlooked. This partnership exists to ensure they are recognised, addressed, and responded to with care and dignity.

By working together, Northern Cancer Voices and Triage are strengthening support that reflects the full complexity of people’s lives, ensuring individuals are supported as whole people, not just as patients.

Why this partnership matters

Cancer outcomes and experiences are shaped by more than access to treatment alone. Challenges around work, income, confidence, and wellbeing can significantly affect recovery, quality of life, and equality of opportunity, particularly for those already facing disadvantage.

Northern Cancer Voices brings expertise in amplifying lived experience, ensuring the voices of people affected by cancer influence policy, services, and system decision-making. Triage brings specialist knowledge through its Connect to Work approach, supporting people to navigate employment, confidence, and practical barriers alongside their health needs.

Together, we are creating more joined-up, compassionate support that recognises how health, work, and wellbeing are deeply connected.

Supporting people throughout their cancer journey

A key focus of this partnership is ensuring people affected by cancer have access to dedicated, personalised support throughout their journey, during treatment, recovery, and living beyond cancer.

By combining community insight with practical, tailored support, we will help to:

· Acknowledge the multiple challenges people face alongside cancer

· Support confidence, choice, and stability in relation to work and future plans

· Reduce barriers caused by fragmented systems

· Ensure people feel heard, understood, and supported at every stage

This partnership ensures we are living our values, not just speaking about them, placing people’s real experiences at the centre of support and change.

Ensuring lived experience informs system change

When people affected by cancer are unable to be in the rooms where decisions are made, organisations have a responsibility to carry their voices carefully, accurately, and ethically.

Through this partnership, Northern Cancer Voices and Triage will continue to gather insight in inclusive and accessible ways, ensuring lived experience informs service design, commissioning, and system improvement, and that decision-making better reflects the realities of people’s lives.

Looking ahead

This partnership represents a meaningful step towards more human, responsive, and equitable support for people affected by cancer. We are excited about what we can achieve together and committed to working in ways that centre dignity, trust, and a whole-person approach.

We look forward to sharing updates as our work progresses and to continuing to support people with the practical, compassionate help they need during cancer and in the years beyond it.

If you’d like to find out more about our workplace support offer, or discuss bespoke opportunities tailored to your organisation, we’d welcome hearing from you. Please get in touch to explore how we can work together.

Susan Eaton, IPS Employment Specialist at Triage, said:

“I am really pleased to be working in partnership with Northern Cancer Voices. In my role as an IPS Employment Specialist, I see first-hand how much a cancer diagnosis can affect every part of someone’s life, particularly their confidence around work and their future.

This partnership is important because it allows us to take a truly joined-up approach, ensuring people feel supported not just in their health, but in rebuilding their independence, aspirations, and sense of purpose. Being able to work alongside an organisation that amplifies lived experience makes this support even more meaningful, and I’m excited about the difference we can make together.”
