Soroptimists in South Lancashire began their autumn regional meetings in sombre mode.<\/h4>\n

Region President Dorcas Akeju spoke for all when she paid tribute to the late Queen \u2013 citing her dedication and service throughout such a long, eventful reign. Members stood in silence to honour Her Majesty\u2019s memory.<\/h5>\n

———————<\/h1>\n

At the Programme Action meeting, the Soroptimists welcomed Charlotte Ellwood, a community fundraiser for North West Cancer Research<\/a> (NWCR).<\/p>\n

This is an independent charity that concentrates of the cancer needs of people in North West England and North Wales. It has a long history starting with the Friends of Liverpool Radium Institute in 1948.<\/p>\n

NWCR looks at what is important in the region\u2019s cancer \u2018makeup\u2019 and aims to fund appropriate, locally-focussed research.<\/p>\n

Charlotte spoke of the region\u2019s cancer patterns and how they can differ from the country as a whole. For example, there are over three times more cases of head and neck cancer in Merseyside than the national average. A research project funded by NWCR is investigating the challenges of treating this cancer.<\/p>\n

NWCR also runs awareness campaigns. Its ongoing Sun Safety programme has worked in the classroom, with employers of outdoor workers, and \u2018on the road\u2019 in local communities.<\/p>\n

The Soroptimists learned that September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. NWCR has developed a project concentrating on the patient experience and quality of life \u2013 bringing the patient to the fore.<\/p>\n

A host of questions showed that members had found the session really interesting. Finally – calling a halt – the Region\u2019s Programme Action Officer, Sriya Kulupana, thanked Charlotte and wished the charity continuing success in its work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
