Today is World Cancer Day

Cancer affects millions of lives worldwide – not just those diagnosed, but their families, friends and communities too.

Today we stand together to raise awareness, improve education and help drive action around Cancer prevention, early detection and treatment. Knowledge saves lives. Early Diagnosis saves lives. Support saves lives.

Whether it’s attending screenings, learning the signs and symptoms or simply checking in on someone who is going through it – every action, big or small, makes a difference.

Together, we can create a world where fewer people are affected by Cancer and everyone has access to the care and support they need.

If you or a loved one has been affected by Cancer our services are here to help. Find out more here: https://www.selfhelp.org.uk/our-services/
