Become a Cancer Champion by taking part in one of our free awareness sessions.
No skills, qualifications or any specialised knowledge of cancer is required to take part in Cancer Champions training. Our free awareness sessions teach people about the key facts, statistics, symptoms, and screenings linked to a number of cancers.
Cancer Champions are equipped with the knowledge needed to raise awareness about cancer, engage in conversations that could help to reduce the risk of cancer and encourage early diagnosis of cancer – when treatment could be simpler and more successful.

Early detection saves lives
Would you be able to spot the possible early signs of cancer in a friend or relative?
Along with national screening programmes, being aware of the common signs and symptoms can help to increase diagnosis at an earlier stage.
Become a Cancer Champion and help encourage early diagnosis and improve outcomes for people affected by cancer in Humber and North Yorkshire.

Sharon’s story
Sharon Hornsby, a Contact Officer with Humberside Police, received treatment for early stage breast cancer after a free awareness session prompted her to book an appointment with her GP.
‘If I hadn’t done the Cancer Champions training, where would I be? Learning about cancer saved my life.’
The Peel Project
Sarah Muflahi, Volunteer Lead Co-ordinator, The Peel Project, said:
‘We organised Cancer Champions training because some people in our local community wouldn’t usually seek information about cancer and can be hesitant about going to the doctors. The face-to-face sessions were hugely beneficial as the group could learn together whilst receiving support from the Cancer Champions team.’
