Cancer Awareness Programme Croydon

We aimed to help raise awareness of cancer for South Asian & Black communities living in Croydon. ARCC had teamed up with Croydon BME Forum and worked alongside the NHS. We were funded by RM Partners West London Cancer Alliance to help deliver a programme that worked for you and your loved ones. With the support of a highly respectable cancer alliance, we could assure you that your voice was being heard and understood.

Why do early screenings matter?

Almost everyone (almost 100%) will survive their cancer for 5 years or more after they are diagnosed with Stage 1 Prostate Cancer. (1)
Basically, the earlier we attend a screening; the more chance we have of a longer, healthier life with friends and family.
