How we work
Interested in sharing your experience? Here's how to become a Cancer Voice.
It's easy to become a Cancer Voice…
Simply join the Cancer Voices Network – and tell us who you are, where you live and what you're interested in doing.
We will then send you regular emails tailored to your experience, telling you all the things you can get involved in. Lots of cancer-related organisations (including Macmillan and the NHS) take part in the Cancer Voices Network. They simply tell us the kind of person and experience they are looking for – and we pass their details on to you!
All you have to do is apply for the opportunity that interests you, and you can get involved and make a difference.
