Cancer Carers Project

This project is a joint initiative between Cancer Equality, The Afiya Trust, and Macmillan Cancer Support, who has also funded the project. This is a 2 year London pilot project which aims to improve access to information for carers for people with cancer from refugee and asylum seeking communities and is an extension of the Cancer Equality Carers Project which provided the same information targeting Asian and Chinese communities.

The project has worked with a number of community organisations who have helped with the process of making the CDs and has also worked with mainstream and statutory organisation who have participated in providing information sessions for the targeted groups.
