Our Programme Manager, Susan Crabb, is showcasing the “Look Like Us” poster at the Greater Manchester Cancer Conference 2026. The campaign highlights an important message: while cancer does not discriminate, access to screening is not always equal. Through culturally tailored and community-led approaches, “Look Like Us” aims to make cancer screening awareness more inclusive, relatable, and trusted by diverse communities. We were thrilled to win the poster prize at a previous conference… could this be another winning year?

Bladder cancer is often diagnosed late, so knowing the signs really matters. Blood in your pee is the most common symptom. If you see red — or even pink or rusty brown — visit your GP. 👉 bit.ly/3u4QsZO #BladderCancerAwarenessMonth @Actionbladderca

Great conversations and community spirit in Wythenshawe! Gazzala from the Answer Cancer Engagement Team attended the Health & Wellbeing Event hosted by Wythenshawe Community Housing at Wythenshawe Village 135. Her stall on cancer and screening sparked lots of meaningful chats with residents. Pictured here are two lovely attendees who shared that they’ve already been for their screening 👏 — a fantastic reminder of how important cancer screening checks are. #AnswerCancer #CancerScreening #CommunityHealth #Wythenshawe
