We’re delighted to announce that the latest “This Van Can” is back on the road. This time it’s focusing on the generic signs and symptoms of cancer / red flags, as well as busting some cancer myths. It’s accompanied by a sister campaign “Get Cancer Clever” which uses the same messaging. We want as many residents of Greater Manchester as possible to know what to look out for, with the ambition that more cancers are diagnosed at an early stage.
Please help us promote the van as it moves around Greater Manchester. As soon as locations are confirmed, a social media pack will be produced for each event.
The pack contains social media tiles for each event, plus an animated “reels” graphic, as well as an animation covering all the events in each area.
Accompanying text, including alt text, is available below, as well as suggested copy for newsletters, WhatsApp and text messages.
If you have any questions about the roadshow, please contact gmcancer.comms@nhs.net
Please use the hashtags #GMGetCancerClever and #ThisVanCan in your posts.
