Your Health Matters: Let’s Talk About Cancer

At SIG, we understand that taking care of your health isn’t always easy, especially when life presents its challenges. If you’ve ever felt judged, ignored, or disappointed by the healthcare system, please know you are not alone. Many of us have faced tough experiences that can make it hard to trust doctors or feel safe reaching out for help.

 

Your health is incredibly important, so we have created something especially for you.

Why These Videos Matter

We have teamed up with NHS NW London and RM Partners to produce short, honest videos about cancer screening. These videos are different from your typical health content; they are shaped by people who have real-life experiences, including those who faced homelessness, mental health struggles, substance use, and experiences with the criminal justice system.

Our goal is to encourage open conversations, make cancer screening feel less intimidating, and empower you to take charge of your health with confidence.

What We’re Doing Together

These videos are part of a broader initiative across SIG. We’re working collaboratively with the NHS, local councils, and other partners to create a more compassionate and accessible healthcare experience for people experiencing health inequalities. This includes:

 

  • Bringing health teams directly into hostels and supported housing
  • Supporting people after they leave hospital with housing and care needs
  • Providing training for NHS staff to understand better and connect with the communities we serve
  • Develop services that reflect the diverse cultures and needs of the people we support

What You’ll See and Hear

In these videos, you’ll find simple animations that clearly explain how cancer screening works for different types of cancer: breast, bowel, cervical and lung. We aim to remove confusion and fear by showing you:

 

  • What each screening entails, step by step
  • Why these screenings are important, even if you don’t have symptoms
  • How to participate, whether from the comfort of your home or at a clinic
  • What to expect next, so you feel prepared and informed

 

You will hear from real people sharing their journeys and offering advice in a genuine and related way. These conversations are not medical lectures; they are heartfelt discussions designed to help you feel more informed, confident, and in control of your health.

These videos are simple, made for anyone with questions or wanting clarity before the next step.

Let’s Keep the Conversation Going

We believe that real change starts with listening to one another and sharing our experiences. We invite you to watch these videos, engage in conversations about them, and share them with others who may benefit. Whether you’re considering getting screened, supporting someone you care about, or seeking information, this is for you.

 

Because your health truly matters, and you deserve to feel seen, heard, and cared for every step of the way.
