Would you like to help Answer Cancer grow communities’ knowledge of cancer and increase the uptake of cancer screening across Greater Manchester? 

The Answer Cancer fund is offering grants of up to £4,000 to GM based voluntary, community & social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to deliver projects that will:

• promote the NHS national screening programmes for breast, bowel and cervical cancer*
• encourage people to attend their screening appointments
• raise awareness of cancer

*depending on the needs of your group, you may want to concentrate on promoting just one, two or all three screening programmes

Answer Cancer recognises that VCSE organisations are part of their communities and trusted by local people. This makes them really well-placed to positively engage people in their community on the topic of cancer, and the importance of attending cancer screening appointments. It is this meaningful engagement that will encourage more people to attend cancer screening appointments and help boost screening rates across Greater Manchester.
