CAMPAIGN WITH US

Join our campaigns and actively contribute to help us challenge decision makers regarding the critical issues affecting everyone affected by a Cancer diagnosis.

We lobby about the issues that impact our health, Cancer services and care, and environmental issues.

We partnered with Triax to launch the Pesticide Free Derry Campaign. As a result, Derry City and Strabane District Council unanimously decided to stop using Glyphosate in public spaces in 2019.

Hive Cancer Support signed the UK Chemicals strategy, urging the UK to adopt EU’s Gold standard legislation for Endocrine disrupting Chemicals.
