Meet Victor
"I wanted to use my experience as a patient, and supporter for my daughter during her treatment, to help Cancer Research UK improve treatment and care, earlier diagnosis, and prevention of cancer."
Meet Steve
"I was looking for a way to do some meaningful involvement work following retirement from the NHS a few years ago and saw that Cancer Research UK was recruiting to their online panel."
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 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 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."
Meet Ellen
"When I heard about the Cancer Research UK for Children & Young People Insights Panel, I knew instantly that I wanted to be part of it. For me, it’s important to give something back and be able to share my experiences and my voice in future projects and research."
