North West Cancer Research - Partner Organisation Survey 2022

Take 5 minutes to help us in the fight against cancer!

North West Cancer Research is a completely independent charity, dedicated to putting our region’s cancer needs first, funding life-saving research to tackle the cause, improve the care and find the cure for cancer.

We are looking to hear from organisations and providers in the community to hear about how we might be able to help you rise health awareness amongst the people that you support.

We are also hoping that you would be able to share our separate “Survey for individuals” with your community. That survey is anonymous and includes a short quiz, so we can gauge how much people in the community know about key cancer related issues and what would help them to know more.

The answers we get from both surveys will help us design and fund services that we hope will have a real impact on how much people know about cancer and what they can do to keep themselves healthy.

Any personal information we collect will only be used for the purposes of our research and to share our overall findings. This survey is being managed by our partner Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services.

All responses are stored via password protected access and are held in accordance with our Data Protection policy.

You can edit your responses up to when you submit your survey.

If you have any questions about this survey, please contact us on (0151) 709 2919 or info@nwcr.org.

Thank you for helping us to beat cancer.
