Cancer Support UK has developed a series of workshops to help employers communicate about cancer in the workplace.

With one in two people in the UK diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, it is vital that businesses are able to support people who are facing cancer.

The effects of this life changing disease can apply equally to staff living with cancer themselves; staff caring for someone with cancer; staff dealing with customers affected by cancer, and so on.

As a charity that provides practical and emotional support to people with all types of cancer, Cancer Support UK is well placed to help organisations of all sizes to become more cancer aware and meet the needs of people in the workplace.

The services provided by Cancer Support UK are designed and delivered by people who have experienced cancer themselves to improve the experience of others.

They include “Communicating about Cancer” workshops, which are suitable for all levels, as well as ELearning courses and “Lunch ‘n’ learn” workshops.
