“We are absolutely delighted to work alongside Cancer Focus Northern Ireland as our nominated charity. Our organisation is committed to serving the local community and when we discovered the work of Cancer Focus NI and their plans to open Cancer Support Centres in local towns across Northern Ireland, we knew it would be a perfect fit for us.” - Hugh and Maria Doyle

Local and leading charity, Cancer Focus NI provides vital support and cancer prevention services each year to over 8,000 local people and their families affected by cancer. These include counselling, family support, specialist bra fitting, art therapy, and a patient driving service. Cancer prevention initiatives include Keeping Well vans, a stop smoking service, schools' programmes, and skin cancer prevention work. The charity also funds groundbreaking local research. In late 2024, Cancer Focus NI will open its first Cancer Support Centre in Enniskillen with four more planned for local towns and cities in the coming years.

Cancer Focus NI must raise over £4.4million every year to deliver its work with 82pence in each pound raised going towards delivering services and funding research. All monies raised remain right here in Northern Ireland to support local people and families during their cancer journey.

If you have any concerns about cancer, call the charity’s free helpline on 0800 783 3339.
