Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance: Community Partnerships: Community ownership of cancer information to increase timely presentation

Cancer incidence and mortality for Cheshire and Merseyside are higher than the English average. In addition, 33 per cent of its population live in the top 20 per cent most deprived neighbourhoods. Together with their Council for Voluntary Services partners, organisers developed an innovative community delivery model to empower our communities to own information to reduce their risk of cancer mortality. This has been achieved by working with grassroot organisations across multiple communities of interest. During the first 18 months of this initiative, over 12,000 interactions have taken place with members of the public.
