Drug and alcohol workers trained to talk to users about cancer awareness

Trainers from Lingen Davies Cancer Fund have been to The Shrewsbury Ark to train staff and volunteers to begin conversations with those they assist, in order to raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of cancer and help work towards more early diagnoses.

Rose Greenslade, Day Centre Manager at The Ark, said: “It’s one of those things that can be difficult to talk about and it should be much easier so it’s useful to get as much knowledge about it as possible. Staff currently support about 23 rough sleepers who come through referrals, either by others or self-referrals, and when they can help they run a six-week project of support.
