Working across Plymouth to support communities whose outcomes from Cancer are not as good as they should be.

Plymouth Cancer Champions is a 3-year project, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and hosted by Zebra Collective in close collaboration with community partners Age UK Plymouth and the Wolseley Trust Social Prescribing team.

Research has shown that some of the barriers to people getting cancer support early included: finance, digital exclusion, age, transport, literacy levels, lack of cancer awareness.

Furthermore, people from low-income communities are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer at a later stage, giving them fewer treatment options.

At the time of research, Macmillan found Plymouth sat within the top 20% most deprived areas of England and that the incidence of cancer in Plymouth was roughly 1% higher than the rest of the country.

Our group runs drop in "Cake and Cuppa" sessions for people impacted by Cancer to meet and chat and trains Cancer Champions to be advocate voices in the community helping to spot signs and symptoms and encourage screening participation.
