Thanks to support from Cancer Alliance and Spring North, over the next six months, Blackpool FC Community Trust will encourage members of the community to focus on their own health by supporting them to attend health checks and cancer screenings. With a focus on Lung, Bowel, and Pancreatic cancers, we are hoping to spread awareness of early signs and symptoms.
Upcoming information events:
Saturday 15th March – Blackpool FC Match Day
Join Blackpool FC Community Trust and Macmillan staff at the Blackpool FC home match against Leyton Orient.
Factors that increase cancer risk include:
- tobacco use
- physical inactivity
- obesity
- alcohol use
- exposure to harmful ultraviolet radiation (sunbeds and sunburn)

We work with primary care and community teams, hospital teams, local authorities, third sector and charitable organisations to improve cancer outcomes by enabling earlier and faster diagnosis, and to deliver the best possible care experience.
