The Difference We Make

Action Cancer needs to raise £4 million every year to enable us to continue to deliver our life-saving & support services

The Big Bus travels to 175 locations across Northern Ireland offering breast screenings, skin cancer detection appointments & health checks

Early detection of breast and skin cancers saves lives

Through media campaigns we work to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the most common cancers to aid early detection and communicate the importance of living a healthy lifestyle to help reduce cancer risk.

Since 1973, Action Cancer has lobbied the government to develop legislation and public policy that encourages the people of Northern Ireland to be pro-active about their own health.
