Help spread the word about early detection of cancer in Bradford district
Yorkshire Cancer Community says screening uptake in Bradford, and the wider West Yorkshire and Harrogate region, is generally low - and that catching cancer at an earlier stage greatly increases chances of survival.
The Cancer SMART awareness project, in partnership with West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer Alliance, continues to grow. It’s needed now more than ever. Every week 250 people in West Yorkshire and Harrogate are diagnosed with cancer and 115 people will lose their lives each week.
As revealed in the Yorkshire Cancer Community Spring Newsletter, which can be downloaded below, there are now 111 Digital Champions - volunteers who are active on social media who help to share positive health messages with their friends and followers.
