How we can help you
Affected by cancer? HCCN is here to help you.
We support adults in Huntingdonshire living with or beyond cancer, offering support groups, movement classes, trusted information, and opportunities to connect with others who understand.
Together for Early Diagnosis
We’re proud to share this powerful message from His Majesty The King, recorded for Stand Up To Cancer 2025. In this short address, he highlights the life-changing importance of early cancer diagnosis, a message we wholeheartedly support here at HCCN.
Early detection saves lives. When cancers like bowel cancer are caught early, survival rates are significantly higher and that’s where screening play a vital role.
