Jayne’s story
Jayne saw her step-dad pass away from prostate cancer and has had two lots of cancer operations herself - she wants to use her experience to help others and has become a valued cancer champion.

Sharon Richards what you doing this day
We're thrilled to announce that our LiveLife Cancer Awareness Service has been recognised by the Shropshire Chamber of Business and we are FINALISTS in the 2024 awards for the impact our work has had in the community!!!
As well as raising awareness about the signs and symptoms of cancer, we have also successfully delivered the NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin project to encourage more people across the patch to take up cancer screening invitations. Our brilliant cancer champions programme, run in conjunction with Oswestry-based Qube, has so far recruited and trained more than 400 people across Shropshire and Mid Wales who are now holding conversations with their peers and networks - all helping to raise awareness and help drive more early diagnoses wherever possible.
We all know how important an early cancer diagnosis is to ensuring the best treatment options and outcomes.
Winners will be announced in mid-June... watch this space!
