Healthy Futures - Plymouth Cancer Champions Project

Plymouth Cancer Champions logo

Plymouth Cancer Champions is a 3-year project funded by Macmillan Cancer Support in collaboration with The Wolseley Trust, Age UK and Zebra Collective.

At the heart of the Plymouth Cancer Champions Project is a mission to raise cancer awareness, provide compassionate support, and empower our community through connection and education. The team, trained in trauma-informed care and solution-focused approaches, is working closely with local organizations, faith groups, and individuals to create a network of Cancer Champions—dedicated volunteers who act as “Community Connectors.”

Through initiatives like our Cake and Cuppa Sessions, community events, and tailored social prescribing, we’re breaking down barriers to support and offering people a safe space to talk, share, and learn. Our Social Prescriber has already made meaningful connections, with life-changing feedback such as: “You’ve given me permission to recover.”

With vibrant partnerships, outreach efforts, and innovative programs like cancer cafés, we’re fostering inclusivity, kindness, and hope. Together, we’re building a stronger, more resilient Plymouth community, where no one faces cancer alone.

Join us—follow our journey, attend an event, or become a Cancer Champion!
