The effects of cancer are wide-reaching and devastating, but we can all make a difference and take action in the face of adversity.

We’re so thankful for every bit of support we receive. To recognise businesses who make regular and generous payments, we’ve set up our Local Heroes programme. All it takes to be involved are payments starting from $1000 (+GST) for two consecutive years to the Southern Cancer Society.

Workplace Cancer Ambassador Programme

Recruit an employee to become a Workplace Cancer Ambassador to work alongside the Cancer Society to help reduce the incidence and impact of cancer.

We will provide easy workplace fundraising campaigns, and the Ambassador can select one or more of our quarterly campaigns to roll out in your workplace.

We have many vital services across the Southern Cancer Society that need funding to ensure they can keep being delivered.

 

We don’t receive any direct Government funding and unfortunately, the need for support is increasing each year. There are so many people like you out there who want to contribute. Our Local Heroes package is a great way for your business to help out. In return, we will formally recognise your contribution as a Local Hero, and provide you with some tools that you can use throughout your business to show your support. Local Heroes can be your contribution; not only to those around you, but to your wider community.

 

The Cancer Society provides a wide range of support and resources for people and their families facing a cancer diagnosis.

We help people with cancer and their families/whānau understand more about their cancer, treatment options, and navigating the health care system.

 

Every person’s cancer experience is different, and we work to meet their support needs. We don’t have a one size fits all approach, because cancer isn’t one size fits all.
