The Hastings and Rother Cancer Support Network
Our role in the project
The network holds quarterly meetings with an agreed agenda. The H&RCSN aims to:
- Improve joint working, integration, and shared learning
- Improve pathways to care and support activities
- Increase awareness and ease of access in areas of high need
- Reduce inequities in support, care, and access, particularly amongst those in underserved areas, men, and those from marginalised groups who are less likely to take up services.
Participants of the network have worked together to produce a list of services and groups that support people living with and affected by cancer.

Our approach

By creating space for collaboration and learning, we are helping organisations work more closely together, improve pathways into support and identify opportunities to address gaps and inequalities in provision.
