Use your lived experience to help shape how employers across the UK understand cancer, early diagnosis and ways to reduce risk. We’re looking for people who have had a cancer diagnosis to join our Cancer Awareness in the Workplace advocate panel and support our team to raise awareness, improve our messages and inspire action.
Cancer Research UK has not organised the following opportunities. External charities and organisations separate from Cancer Research UK run them. You'll work directly with that organisation when taking part.
If you wish to share positive or negative feedback about your experience participating in these opportunities, we'd love to hear from you. Please email us at involvement@cancer.org.uk.
