The Council aims to:-

  • facilitate and encourage communication between cancer charities
  • strategically represent the interests of the member charities to the Department of Health 
  • promote overall awareness of the cancer services in the island

In order to achieve these aims, the Council seeks to:-

  • enter into discussions with health care partnership organisations on the island to prioritise the needs for cancer care
  • co-ordinate the efforts of members when considering how to support individual projects

The Council of Cancer Charities was established in April 2000.

The Council was designed to bring together the different cancer charities of the Isle of Man, and help them to work together to benefit people affected by cancer.


Cancer strategy for the Isle of Man 2011-2021

The major aim of the Council of Cancer Charities over the last 3 years has been to encourage, and participate in the Cancer Strategy Group, to evolve a realistic strategy to produce a quality-assured Cancer Service for the Isle of Man.

Council of Cancer Charities  members have played important roles in the production of most sections of the strategy to be published in December 2011.

The document in the introduction states ‘It is important to recognise that there are a number of Third Sector organisations that provide high quality innovative support services for cancer patients and their carers, and participate in developing strategies and service delivery planning. Partnership working with, and between these organisations can make an even bigger difference in the fight against cancer

It is important now that the strategy is published that the members of the CCC take an active role in ensuring the speedy implementation of the recommendations by working closely with the Department of Health and other organisations.
