Mission statement
To support and empower people in Jersey affected by cancer.
The challenge and our aim
Cancer is increasing and by 2020 it is estimated that nearly 1 in 2 of the population will receive a cancer diagnosis at some time during their lives. The increase is mainly because people are living longer. Due to improved treatments many more people will live beyond cancer, and our service aims to meet the growing demand and changing needs.
We aim to ensure people feel empowered to make the right decisions in terms of their treatment options and to live well with and beyond the diagnosis, knowing their family and friends are supported also.
Our values
We are professional and welcoming.
We treat everyone with kindness.
We put the individual at the core of all we do.
