'Talking About Cancer Together' would like to invite you to an informal in-person meeting focused on Engaging & Educating Schools in Cancer Awareness, taking place on:

Date:  Monday 12 May
Time:  2:00pm - 4:00pm
Venue: Community Action Norfolk Office, Ambassador Way, Greens Road, Dereham, NR20 3TL.

This session is open to anyone with an interest in increasing awareness and understanding of cancer (including bereavement) within schools. It follows insights shared during a recent network session and reflects a growing interest from members to explore this area together.
