PEOPLE LIVING WITH AND BEYOND CANCERPrevention and or early intervention can make a significant difference to diagnosis and survival rates, which in turn helps people to live with and beyond cancer. Our education and awareness programmes are people centric and are designed to encourage healthy lifestyle choices from grassroots level, thus addressing issues at the earliest possible stage. The sessions are delivered in community settings, schools, colleges and businesses and focus on establishing sensible lifestyle choices and tackling peer pressure or dysfunctional actions, which could have a negative impact upon health and well-being. By tackling these issues at an early stage, we can enable people to recognise the importance of a healthy lifestyle which in turn will have a positive impact upon them reaching their potential. Communities become more active, healthy, less isolated and socially responsible. Bonds and friendships are formed, ideas are shared which influence our future delivery and the uptake of screening appointments, improved, all of which has a positive impact upon communities, our current generation and our future generations. FACT provides tailored education and awareness sessions which are bespoke to the audience.
