Halton and St Helen's VCA and Warrington Voluntary Action are delighted to work together to bring you some training and awareness to support you in your work delivering your innovative work under the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance Community Fund.
We are pleased to commission Cancer Research UK to deliver their highly recommended Talk Cancer session that empowers you to have healthy conversations with the people you support. We have four sessions available in the coming weeks, all are virtual and come with supporting materials which will be sent after the session.
Please spread this across the members of your team and encourage anyone that has contact with your users to attend if they can. Please note however that this session is only for those working within your organisation, do not send it to partners or associates without seeking clarification first. More about the training below.
