Rooted in community. Driven by experience.
Join us in driving innovation and enhancing cancer service in the Region! Your donation fuels our mission to elevate patient experiences and advance research in cancer treatment.
Our link working goes far beyond handing out leaflets. We offer clear, personal, and meaningful guidance so people know who can help, why they are the right choice, and how to make contact.
By empowering people to be their own advocate for their health and wellbeing, we help them feel more in control, better informed, and more able to get the support they need.
When people share their experiences with us, we listen carefully, and we make sure we have properly understood what they need. We repeat back what we have heard so nothing is missed, and then we work together to find the right next steps.
Our aim is not to do things for people, but to give them the confidence, knowledge, and tools to do it for themselves. We only signpost to trusted partners, groups and services we have visited ourselves or that are fully vetted through the Cancer Care Map. This means we have real confidence that we are sending people to safe, reliable, and supportive places.
Across the North East and North Cumbria, we bring patients, carers, public members, NHS teams, and VCSE partners together in regular online meetings.
These sessions create a trusted space where people with lived experience of cancer can share what matters most to them, and where services can listen, learn, and act.
Providers tell us these conversations are vital because they hear directly from the public, take real stories back to their teams, and champion changes that improve the cancer pathway for everyone.
Together, we look at current themes, explore ideas, and work side by side to make cancer care kinder, clearer, and better for all.
Let us know a bit about yourself, where you’re based, and why you’re interested.
Help us create more safe spaces for people who need them.
Because no one should face cancer alone.
