📉Encouraging news for NSW!
New research from Generation V**e, a project led by Cancer Council NSW tracking and exploring va**ng among young people, shows fewer teens are taking up va**ng — a promising sign that stronger controls and changing social norms are making a difference.

This National Volunteer Week (18–24 May 2026), we’re proud to celebrate and say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible 633 volunteers at Cancer Council NSW 💛

From providing compassionate support through Cancer Connect and Transport to Treatment, to helping deliver vital fundraising events like Relay for Life, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. You give your time, skills and kindness to ensure people affected by cancer feel supported, informed and never alone—and we are deeply grateful.

Because of you, we can continue to support families, fund life-saving research and work towards a cancer-free future. It truly is all of us against cancer—and we couldn’t do it without you. 💛

Inspired by this year’s theme, Your Year to Volunteer, there’s never been a better time to get involved in a way that works for you. Join us and make a meaningful difference: https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/get-involved/volunteer-with-us/

We believe no one should face cancer alone.💛

It's estimated around 169,000 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer this year - and many of these people (and their loved ones) will need support.

Everyone should be able to access the best cancer support and information available, whatever their background, postcode or cancer type.

Call 13 11 20 (for free) for questions, emotional support, guidance and trusted cancer information.

Mum-of-one Christina and her daughter generously shared their story with us on how their special relationship got Christina through a stage three breast cancer diagnosis, after losing her own mother to uterine cancer.

📲Christina also leaned on us for support and we are thrilled that she is doing very well now (make sure you swipe to the end!). If you or someone you love needs support, call Cancer Council on 13 11 20.

It’s that time of year again, as we acknowledge May and the beginning of Relay For Life. Relay began in 1985 when Dr Gordy Klatt ran 83 miles over 24 hours to show what people facing cancer endure. Just one year later, it became a team event — and from there, the movement grew. Relay For Life arrived in Australia in 1999 and is now held over 24 hours in thousands of communities across more than 20 countries. To date, over 4 million participants worldwide have raised more than $6.8 billion, creating a truly global impact in tackling cancer together 💜
