Campaigning Group

The James Whale Fund has joined the Cancer Campaigning Group.

The Group is a coalition of influential national cancer charities representing many different forms of the disease. The Group, which is now in its fifth year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the issues around cancer and seeking improvements across four main areas:

Prevention
Care and treatment
Patient involvement and choice
Research.

The Fund will be helping the Group identify the areas of cancer policy that need most attention and suggest policy solutions for the future of cancer care.
