Norfolk & Sussex Project

Cervical Cancer in Norfolk

Our aim with this Project is to raise awareness of cervical cancer and what can be done to prevent suffering and death from the disease.

In the County, we estimate that there are approximately 50 cases of cervical cancer and 15 - 20 deaths a year.

Cervical Cancer in Sussex

Over in Brighton, by volunteering in prjects such as TDC (Trust for Developing Communities). we have been delivering HPV presentations to staff along with sessions on cervical sreening, bowel cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer we aim to help further educate about prevention.

We have been working with members of communities such as the gypsy travellers to learn more about troubles faced so that we may help similar groups better in the future.

our project aims to target as many women, youngsters, and students as possible and our key messages and actions are:

All women need to attend regular cervical screening.

The HPV vaccination is important and helps to protect individuals from the disease.

In particular, we need to access deprived and vulnerable groups of individuals in the county and raise awareness of screening and vaccination.

We have established five groups:

  • Schools,
  • Social Services,
  • Medical Practices,
  • Religious and
  • Community Groups.

We want to partner with members of these groups to raise awareness, access vulnerable and deprived individuals, those suffering from socio-economic and physical conditions or learning disabilities, domestic violence and transgender/non-binary treatment.

How can we help them?

We provide an “information pack” for members of the groups to distribute to individuals in their groups, using electronic channels including website and social media as well as printed materials. The pack includes:

Flyer being Handed Out

A flyer, containing information on cervical cancer and HPV.

Woman getting Vaccinated

A flyer, containing information on the importance of regular cervical screening and the HPV vaccination.

Sticky Notes on a Wall

UK Cervical Cancer's “comfort checklist”.

Please note that the flyers and comfort checklist have been translated into a range of different languages and if required please contact us for alternative versions.

Helped so many lives

As a cervical cancer survivor, I owe a debt of gratitude to UK Cervical Cancer. Their comprehensive approach to combating
this disease, from awareness campaigns to funding research, has made a tangible difference in countless lives, including mine.
