We spent time listening to people, supporting local groups, working with community leaders, sharing patient voices, and building strong partnerships across our region. This part of our work showed how daily actions made a real difference, helping people, strengthening communities, and keeping lived experience at the heart of cancer care.
We believe that strong communities are the best source of ideas, knowledge, and support. Our community engagement model is based on the principles of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). This means we focus on strengths, not problems, and we build change with communities, not for them. Our approach brings together three simple but powerful ways of working:
We spend time in the places where people live, meet, and feel comfortable. This helps us build real relationships and understand what matters most to each community. What this looks like:
Why it works: People open up more when they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard.
We partner with people who already have strong relationships in their community, such as faith leaders, local organisers, grassroots groups, and volunteers. What this looks like:
Why it works: People listen to people they trust. This helps us reach groups who may not connect with traditional health services.
We are community connector specialists, using a person-centred approach to reach voices that are too often unheard.
To amplify lived experience, reduce inequalities, and shape cancer services through trusted relationships, community-rooted engagement, insight, and partnership working.
