Make a difference in your community and around the world.

 

MAKE YOUR MARK TODAY!

THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND AROUND THE GLOBE, AND YOU DON’T NEED TO WAIT FOR 4 FEBRUARY—YOU CAN START ANY TIME. HERE ARE A FEW PATHWAYS TO IMPACT:


ADVOCATE FOR POLICY CHANGES - Lobby your leaders! Many local and regional decision-makers have offices you can contact directly to express your concerns. You could take a personal approach by calling or writing your representatives directly to make sure they know how important people-centred cancer care is. You could even create a powerful call to action or open letter of your own and invite others to sign it. 



VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME - Look for community organisations in your area or explore volunteering opportunities at local hospitals or cancer associations. This is a great way to not only make a difference in people’s lives, but to create the kinds of connections with likeminded people that can lead to more effective grassroots efforts later. 




RALLY YOUR COMMUNITY - There’s strength in numbers. Organise community workshops, info sessions over coffee, or online seminars focused on people-centred care to educate people and get them interested in and excited about the cause. 




GET CREATIVE Use the power of your personal story to find new ways to bring awareness to the personal experiences of people living with cancer and their families and loved ones. Share your firsthand experiences with your networks and encourage them to do the same. Maybe you’ll inspire others to add their perspectives and unique stories to our United by Unique campaign, making our collective efforts even stronger.
