CANDU IN THE COMMUNITY
​
It is a CANDU priority that people affected by cancer in Dundee are able to access services which are holistic and supportive and can help them live their best life with a cancer diagnosis. as well as offering support at our city centre home, we also reach out to people from the most isolated communities who may be experiencing barriers such as financial hardship, social isolation and cultural stigma developing & delivering age-appropriate, culturally sensitive activities for cancer patients and their families.

Outreach activities break down cultural and social barriers to cancer support within communities where there may be stigma around a cancer diagnosis or where financial and social disadvantage limit access to available services.
Cases of cancer are highest in Dundee's poorest areas and CANDU are dedicated to addressing the needs of patients affected by socioeconomic disadvantage.
