World Cancer Day
South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Shows Up is a strategy and social movement designed to engage and involve all our communities and workforces in some bold ambitions to improve cancer outcomes in our region.
Unfortunately, we have one of the highest rates of cancer in England, with the lowest proportion of people diagnosed at an early stage where we can offer curative treatments. We need more of us to understand why that is and to take steps in our own lives, communities, workplaces – and together – to start to turn the tide on cancer outcomes.
One in two people will be affected by cancer in their lifetime and better treatments mean that people are living with cancer for longer. One of our ambitions therefore is that cancer is recognised and supported as a long-term condition.
South Yorkshire & Bassetlaw Shows Up is about showing up for each other and showing up as organisations and individuals to tackle cancer together in new and innovative ways.
Let’s all ‘show up’ to tackle cancer.
