Charity People is partnering with Pancreatic Cancer Action in their search for a new Fundraising Manager!

About the Charity:

Their mission is to improve the survival rates of pancreatic cancer by ensuring more people are diagnosed early and in time for surgery - currently the only potential cure - and improve the quality of life of patients. Their vision is a day when everyone is diagnosed early and survives pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer has only a seven per cent survival rate and this figure has not improved significantly for over 40 years. Despite it being the fifth biggest cancer killer in the UK, pancreatic cancer receives only three per cent of overall research funding.

With a strong focus on early diagnosis, it is the charity's aim to improve survival rates through awareness, medical education, improved patient information and by funding research specifically into the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Simply, they want more people diagnosed in time for surgery, currently the only potential for a cure.

About Kinship:

Kinship is the leading charity in England and Wales for kinship carers – relatives and friends who raise children when their parents aren’t able to. We offer kinship carers expert advice as well as financial, legal, practical and emotional support and understanding from the moment they need it, for as long as they need it. We’re always there to help with the complicated and stressful decisions that so many kinship families have to make, as well as to celebrate the good times.

Working alongside kinship carers and the children they raise, with their voice and views at the fore, we build communities of support and give everything we have to fight for each family and their rights, as well as to raise awareness of kinship care and secure better support for all those playing this critical role.
