Cancer Research UK recently recruited new representatives to join their panel that supports research into early detection and prevention of cancer.
Shaping our Environmental Sustainability Strategy
Members of our Involvement Network shared their views to help shape our thinking on this critical piece of work. Through consultations and surveys, we were able to gather your views on how people affected by cancer feel about environmental sustainability, and specifically your expectations around this subject at Cancer Research UK.
How you shaped our health information
One of the ways we can help to reduce cancer inequalities is by making sure all our information is accessible. Last year, teams across Cancer Research UK launched a project to raise awareness of ways to stop smoking and encourage people to take action.

"It’s been great getting to meet the other panel members and hear their stories. We work together to bring change for everyone who may in the future be affected by cancer, including under-represented groups."

"To live with cancer or to see first-hand the devastating effect it can have gives us a unique perspective."

"Cancer is not selective; it can affect anyone. The more diverse the audience that Cancer Research UK can communicate with, the better, and by having a diverse panel we can help that."
Meet Neil

Meet Arshiya
