Welcome to the BIG BUS.
Action Cancer is proud to announce that its new state-of-the-art Mobile Resource Centre- nicknamed the 'BIG BUS' - is now on the road and travelling to over 200 locations per year, covering every area of Northern Ireland.
The launch of this multi-purpose resource centre marks a new era in Action Cancer's cancer prevention and support services.
Services provided on the BIG BUS include digital breast screening, health promotion and health checks for men and women. A new support scheme called the Listening Ear Service(FIND OUT MORE) and complementary therapies will be offered to cancer patients, their carers and families onboard the unit, which is fully accessible for people with disabilities by means of a wheelchair lift.
The project's main sponsor, retail group SuperValu and its independent retailers, have been fundraising for nearly two years to fund almost half of the service costs as part of their long-term commitment to the charity's mobile cancer services. They aim to raise a phenomenal £612,000 towards the £1.5million costs in the first three years. Local company Brown's Coachworks, of Lisburn, was awarded the contract to build the vehicle.
Groups and companies wishing to make a booking for the BIG BUS should telephone Action Cancer on 028 9080 3344 or use the dedicated email address bigbus@actioncancer.org
