Campaigning has great potential to help us in our vision that together we will beat cancer.
In early 2006, our Smokefree Workplaces campaign resulted in MPs voting for a historic change in the law: comprehensive legislation ending smoking in all workplaces in England.
Our Cancer 2020 campaign called on politicians in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to plan for the cancer challenges ahead.
The government in England committed to a new Cancer Reform Strategy in November 2006, with Scotland agreeing to update their Cancer in Scotland plan in February 2007. We’re still working with politicians in Wales and Northern Ireland to ensure they too plan for the future of cancer.
Our Screening Matters campaign calls on politicians to get more people into cancer screening programmes across the UK and to make sure the programmes are as good as they can be.
