Story
ITS OFFICIAL. FINALLY.
After six years of supporting those impacted by carcinoma GIRLvsCANCER is now a fully registered charity in England & Wales (1198507) a change in status that means HUGE things for the work we do for, and in, our community.
But no revolution can be won alone, which is why were calling on YOU (your mates, fam, dates and even that dodgy looking bloke down the pub) to help us raise the funds we need to power our mission, amplify experiences, shift perceptions and make proper change happen.
WHY YOUR MONEY MATTERS
Fundraisers are a ten and thats a fact. But its the things we can do with the dough our supporters make that truly has a lasting impact. Things like:
COMMUNITY-BASED RESEARCH: Our findings will inform future campaigns and be shared with governing bodies, charity partners and health agencies to power the fight for vital policy changes that will benefit all those experiencing cancer.
AMPLIFY AWARENESS: Well continue to create newsworthy campaigns that put authentic cancer experiences front and centre, enabling people to increase their understanding, move beyond stereotypes, create connections and eradicate fear, shame and loneliness.
GENERATE ESSENTIAL RESOURCES: Joining the dots and guiding our community to credible information they need. By upgrading the functionality and signposting capabilities of our site, we can help people navigate the often overwhelming cancer space quickly and easily.
FACILITATE PEER-TO-PEER SUPPORT: Nobody gets cancer like the cancer community, which is why creating spaces to share stories, IRL or via URL, is crucial to our cause. Were talking major meet-ups, online story-telling and some seriously good fun, done a little bit differently.
£500K is our target. Every penny will go towards getting the vital tools, tech and people we need to stick it to the cancer stigma and channel support to the right places.
Are YOU with us?
