ThisVanCan
ThisVanCan is our Greater Manchester NHS mobile health clinic in a van which is raising awareness of prostate cancer. The service is for men, or people with a prostate, who fit the following criteria:
- Black and over age 45
- If you have a family history of prostate, breast or ovarian cancer and are over 45. This means your father or brother has had prostate cancer when they were under the age of 55 or your mother or sister has had breast or ovarian cancer when they were under the age of 50.
Men, or people with a prostate, who fit into either of these groups can book an appointment at our ThisVanCan roadshow.

Still I Rise – Salford City Council
Still I Rise celebrates Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) culture in Salford and tells the stories of some of those working in the city’s public and voluntary sectors. Individuals share their stories to inspire and empower others and offer role models for future generations. The idea for the exhibition came from Salford’s BAME Mental Health Champions, a group of volunteers representing people in their communities – including African, Yemeni and Chinese – who work with the council and NHS to act as links to mental health services in Salford.
