Action Cancer is a Northern Ireland cancer charity dedicated to saving lives and supporting people through cancer awareness, prevention, detection and support.

Our founder's vision for the future was that people in Northern Ireland would be free from the risk of cancer. At Action Cancer today our mission is to save lives, support and improve quality of life for people in Northern Ireland through cancer awareness, prevention, detection and support.

We are a local Northern Ireland charity - all our money is raised to provide services for local communities. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers work across the whole of Northern Ireland helping to save lives and support people affected by cancer. To operate our services we must raise circa £4 million every year. We provide early detection and health promotion services, and counselling and support services for cancer patients and their families, thereby making a real difference to people who are affected by or living with cancer.

Descend the Dome charity event happening at Victoria Square on Sunday 22nd September! Why not take on this exciting challenge for Action Cancer and abseil from Victoria Square’s iconic glass dome in aid of their charity of the year, Action Cancer. Registration fee: £35pp Minimum sponsorship of £70 pp applies Must be +12 years to abseil. For a limited time only we are able to offer 2 registrations fees for the price of 1 – meaning 2 people can sign up for just £35 Taking on this exhilarating challenge and facing your fears for Action Cancer will give support to a local person when they need it most. Many cancer patients often feel anxious, vulnerable and scared when they receive their cancer diagnosis or when they are going through their treatment plan, however the money you raise doing an abseil will allow action cancer to continue to provide free support services such as counselling to people at their lowest point. Counselling provides a safe and supportive environment to allow clients to acknowledge and articulate their fears and anxieties surrounding their diagnosis or the diagnosis of a loved one.
