Communities Against Cancer

Citizens Advice Gosport is supporting the Action Hampshire’s project Communities against Cancer. Funded by Wessex Cancer Alliance, Communities Against Cancer aims to reach communities experiencing health inequalities and poorer health outcomes. By increasing awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and encouraging people to participate in cancer screening when eligible, we can help to improve their health outcomes.
