The Involvement Network is a group of people affected by cancer who want to make a difference to the lives of others facing cancer. As a member, you’ll share your views to help us to beat cancer whilst ensuring that we’re meeting the needs of future patients and their families.
Whether you’ve got lots of time to spare or only a little, and whatever your cancer experience, it’s easy to become a member of our Involvement Network and participate in opportunities such as surveys, phone interviews and focus groups. Once signed up to our network, we’ll send you a monthly newsletter with the latest opportunities to get involved.

Everything we do has patients and all people affected by cancer at its heart and your hard work ensures that we keep your voices central to how we do our business. Here are some highlights of the tangible impact you’re having:
You’ve been central to our research and innovation work, helping us to recruit staff, present at conferences, collaborate with leading scientists, and help us co-design and deliver discussions across the drug development cycle.
Because of you, our marketing campaigns, especially ones that feature real patients, we can ensure that they resonate with people affected by cancer whilst having the impact we need them to. We’ve worked with people affected by cancer to help influence ‘We Are’ Integrated TV adverts and the Race For Life Brand Refresh.
