The C Word is helping the Isle of Sheppey start conversations that could save lives.
Through inspiring community events, weekly radio shows and practical support, we’re making it easier to recognise the signs, understand NHS screening and take positive action towards earlier diagnosis.

Our events are welcoming, relaxed and anything but clinical. No lectures. No pressure. Just friendly conversations, practical advice and a chance to discover simple ways to look after your health.

  • Inspiring community events and pop-ups

  • Friendly healthcare professionals and local organisations

  • Free giveaways and wellbeing resources

  • Interactive activities and taster sessions

  • Simple information about signs, symptoms and screening

  • A safe space to ask questions and build confidence
