Cancer Ambassador Project

The Cancer Awareness Ambassador project is looking for volunteers and work-based champions from hard-to-reach communities to help:

• Promote cancer awareness
• Encourage routine screening
• Support early action if someone is concerned about their health
• Funded by the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance (Early Diagnosis Team) and coordinated by Spring North, the project takes a community-focused approach  delivering trusted, simple, and authentic messages via local champions to improve early diagnosis and screening rates.

What is a Cancer Awareness Ambassador?

• Shares cancer prevention messages in their community
