Want to better support colleagues affected by cancer?
4th September 2026, 8:43 am
One in two people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, with 17,000 diagnoses in Greater Manchester last year.
That means cancer touches every workplace. Yet more than half of Greater Manchester employees (54%) aren’t aware of any cancer support in their workplace.
We need to do better. That’s why we’re teaming up with The Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance to host the Get Cancer Clever Breakfast Briefing to bring together senior leaders and HR and wellbeing teams for a morning of honest conversation and practical action to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and equip employers to better support staff affected by cancer.
Date & time: Tuesday 22 September 2026, 8:30–10:30am
Location: People’s History Museum, Manchester
