Every day, around 56 people in Wales are diagnosed with cancer, and around 25 people die from it. That’s why, ahead of the election to the Senedd in May, we’ve launched our new campaign, calling on all political parties to act on cancer.

The National Cancer Plan is here. It’s the most ambitious plan on cancer in a generation, built with the support of the cancer community. Thank you to everyone who shared their story to help create it. Your voices are shaping the future of cancer care. gov.uk/government/new…

Great to be back @niassembly today with fellow volunteer @CRUK_Policy Campaigns Ambassador, Aisling, for @CR_UK’s Cancer Research event, showcasing the life-saving impact of the research it funds right here in Northern Ireland. @Michelle_CRUK 🧬🔬

Around 20,000 people in Northern Ireland won’t start treatment on time over the next five years unless emergency action is taken to protect patients. The Northern Ireland Executive must now develop an emergency stabilisation plan, prioritising patients at the highest risk. bit.ly/3NDvfCr Our No Time To Wait report sets out why we need to see immediate action to protect patient safety by reducing the backlog of people still waiting for diagnosis and treatment.

@METUPUKorg Wonderful news, many congratulations @lwhlaura.

Following the heartbreaking death of our founder Jo Taylor, in early November, METUPUK has faced one of its most difficult decisions, appointing a new Chair to lead us forward. This appointment has been made in consultation with Jo’s family, ensuring her legacy remains at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to share that Laura Ashurst, a dedicated volunteer since 2021 and Trustee since March 2025, has accepted the role of Chair. This moment carries deep emotion, but also hope for the future of our mission. As we step into 2026, Jo’s voice and vision will continue to inspire us. Please join us in welcoming Laura to the helm. We are METUPUK. We stand together. #MetastaticBreastCancer #MBC #SecondaryBreastCancer #METUPUK #FriendsNotForgotten

From campaigning on the Tobacco & Vapes Bill, helping shape England’s National Cancer Plan and launching cancer manifestos ahead of the Scottish & Welsh elections, we look back at how, along with our supporters, we made 2025 another impactful year for cancer research policy: bit.ly/49uPA4q

🎙️ This morning on BBC Radio Wales, our amazing volunteer ambassador Jody Bullock spoke about the devastating impact smoking had on his grandad, who sadly died from lung cancer. As the Senedd votes on the Tobacco and Vapes Bill today, Jody’s story is a powerful reminder of why this legislation is so important. 📻 Listen here: youtu.be/UPWrYApCH7Q?fe…

Hugely grateful to our incredible @CRUK_Policy @CRUKCymru volunteer Campaigns Ambassadors. They’ve tirelessly given their time, voice and lived experiences, helping influence and gain the support of Senedd Members for the Tobacco & Vapes Bill to be adopted in Wales. #SmokefreeUK

We need to remove any unnecessary red tape and barriers to progress, so we can be better, faster and do more to improve patient benefit from our research. Will you ask your MP to #BackTheBreakthroughs and invite them to our parliamentary event on 9 December? 👉Find out how: bit.ly/CmpgnsAFP_MP_X1

Behind every breakthrough are real people: scientists, nurses, and patients taking part in trials. But they can’t do it alone. Cancer research faces big challenges. To overcome them, we need decision-makers to step up. 👉 Learn more and find out how you can help: bit.ly/43OMMgi #BackTheBreakthroughs 🔬
