Involvement news and stories


Meet Nic
"Young people affected by cancer face unique challenges, that demand more attention and support. A wide range of issues arise - from delays in diagnosis and difficulties accessing age-appropriate treatment to a lack of meaningful help for the significant emotional and social impacts cancer has during such a formative stage of life."

Meet Bettina
"I’ve seen change recently, particularly in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion, where Cancer Research UK is putting people like me at the heart of how it works. It’s an amazing organisation, however, without the voice and experiences of ALL people affected by cancer, the whole story isn’t told."

Meet Andrew
"The patient involvement team makes the process of being involved with the group easy. You feel that you’re making a real difference. We’re a diverse group in age, backgrounds, and of course cancer journeys."

Meet Faaria
"As a member of a minority community, I know that sometimes we’re not heard. It’s important to speak on behalf of those that are not able to do for themselves, for whatever reason."
