In the UK 4 in 10 cancer cases are preventable.

But what can the government do to stop those 4 out of every 10 cancers before they even start?

Welcome to the fourth episode of our mini-series, That Cancer Conversation Longer, better lives.

In this episode, Sophie sits with Alizee Froguel who works on prevention policy here at Cancer Research UK. They discuss what’s causing most of these preventable cancers, the announcement of the general election and what's next for achieving a smokefree UK.

Welcome back to another episode of That Cancer Conversation!

We’re kicking off Volunteers’ Week 2024 with the second of our special episodes celebrating our inspiring volunteers.

Last time, we chatted to Penny, one of our campaigns ambassadors. This week, we’re moving into the world of events with Rhian.

Rhian has been volunteering at Race for Life and Pretty Muddy events across London since 2021. She was inspired to get involved after her own diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

If you're looking for a way to get stuck in and make a difference, head to our volunteering pages to find out how you can get involved. Every minute counts and every hour you give takes us one step closer to beating cancer.

Welcome back to another episode of That Cancer Conversation!

Here at Cancer Research UK, we’re grateful to benefit from the support of more than 25,000 incredible volunteers, who donate their time to help us beat cancer.

So, in the lead up to Volunteers’ Week on the 3rd of June, we want to say a huge thank you to our brilliant community of volunteers, whose support makes our life-saving research possible.

To celebrate their stories, we’re diving into the world of volunteering across 2 special episodes.

First up, we’re chatting to Penny, who's been volunteering with us for over 10 years, both as a campaign’s ambassador and as a member of the Children & Young People Insights Panel. After losing family members to cancer, Penny started volunteering in 2010 when she was 21, and hasn’t looked back since.

If you're feeling inspired by Penny's story, head to our website to find out how you can get involved volunteering for Cancer Research UK.
