Play a part in increasing early cancer diagnosis rates in Greater Manchester
The Cancer & Inequalities fund is offering grants of up to £25,000 for Greater Manchester-based VCSE organisations to deliver projects that raise awareness of the early signs and symptoms of cancer and identify and understand the barriers people face when receiving a cancer diagnosis.
Early diagnosis is often the key to successfully treating cancer. It can make treatment more simple and less invasive and results in 55,000 additional lives saved each year.

Getting to the root of good health: The role of VCFSE sector in Health Creation
Wednesday, 16 October 2024, 14:00 – 15:30, Online.
