Cancer Awareness in the Workplace

Help your employees live longer, healthier lives.

A unique, competitively priced, programme

Every year, more than 127,000 people of working age are diagnosed with cancer in the UK. Around 4 in 10 of these cases could be prevented. This is where we can help.

Our Cancer Awareness in the Workplace programme supports your employees to reduce their risk of cancer and take positive action for their health.

The programme has received excellent feedback since it launched in 2016. It’s designed by our nurses and health experts with years of experience and priced on the sector and size of your organisation.

Reducing health inequalities is at the heart of the programme and we prioritise employees who are harder to reach or have a higher risk of poor health.

The information I received was excellent, it would be great to see this as a regular event.

- TK Maxx employee after visiting a cancer awareness stand

I’d thoroughly recommend this programme for employees – it’s really made a huge, positive difference to my health. With what I learnt, I pledged to stop smoking. I’ve now been smoke-free for a year and I feel incredible! Thank you Cancer Research UK.
