“Speaking from personal experience, a cancer journey is one of the most devastating moments anyone can experience. For me, I know that having a local Therapeutic Support Centre will make a massive difference to peoples’ journey from diagnosis and treatment to recovery.”
Ivan McMinn MBE, Chairperson, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland
“Of the four strategic objectives that will underpin the new direction for the charity, championing local research is one that I am glad to see the charity focus on. Cancer research is a necessity, not a luxury. By funding world-class, innovative cancer research, we will see more people across Northern Ireland contribute to, and benefit from, the latest developments in cancer research and cancer control.”
Mark Lawler, Vice-Chair, Cancer Focus NI
“Of the four strategic objectives that will underpin the new direction for the charity, Sustaining Our Impact is one that I am particularly interested in as it will be through growing local support for our work and services that local people will receive the support they need and deserve at their time in need. The long-lasting impact from the creation of these Support Centres will be that local people will get involved in their communities and view Cancer Focus Northern Ireland as their cancer charity of choice.”
Dr Helen Reid, Board Member, Cancer Focus Northern Ireland
