The Plymouth Community Cancer Champions Project is a three-year test & learn initiative which began in April 2024, funded by Macmillan Cancer Support, hosted by Zebra Collective in close collaboration with Age UK Plymouth and the Wolseley Trust Social Prescribing Team. 

This project is testing an asset-based community development approach to improving cancer experiences and outcomes for those most excluded from opportunities for early diagnosis, treatment and support — particularly those living in low-income areas, people from minoritised ethnic communities, and people over 50. The project enquiry: how significant an impact can building on community strengths have on people’s cancer journey in these communities? 

The project began in Devonport, has moved into Stonehouse and Whitleigh, and is now expanding into several other neighbourhoods including Barne Barton, Morice Town, Ernesettle, North Prospect, and the East End. There has been much learning already, which we’re taking into the 2nd half of the project.
