Campaign: 2011

During the development of our role plays for the campaign, we felt that it was essential to hold rehearsals within our own time in order to create a successful piece and get in extra time to practice.

The Nature and purpose of campaigns

Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading charity dedicated to beating cancer through research. Their aim is to save lives from cancer by taking on three different areas where the most impact can be made which are research, information and influencing public policy. Through research they support the work of over 4.000 scientists, doctors and nurses across the UK to investigate all aspects of cancer.
With information they work to prevent cancer and help people cope with its effects by providing information for cancer patients and their families, health professionals and the general public. When influencing public policy they campaign to keep cancer at the top of the health agenda.
They have 10 main goals in which they hope to achieve by 2020. These are:

1) Reduce risk of cancer: make people aware of the lifestyle choices they can make to reduce the risk.

2) Reduce the number of smokers: so that there are fewer cases of cancer every year.

3) Make people under 75 less likely to get cancer: chances of a person under 75 to develop cancer from one in four to one in five.

4) Diagnose cancer earlier: so that it’s at a stage where it can be fully treated.

5) To understand how cancer starts and develop: have a better understanding of the causes and changes in the body in two-thirds of all cancer cases.

6) Have better treatments with fewer side-effects: by creating treatments that accurately target cancer with few serious side-effects available for atleast half of all the patients

7) Increase survival rates for all common cancers: with more than two thirds of newly-diagnosed patients living for at least five years.

8) Tackle cancer in low income communities: the difference in the risk of dying from cancer in the most affluent and least affluent will be reduced by half.

9) People with cancer will get the information they need: atleast nine out of ten patients will be able to access information they need at the time of diagnosis and during treatment.

10) We will continue to beat cancer beyond 2020: sufficient scientists, doctors, nurses and infrastructure will be in place to ensure continued rapid progress in the fight against cancer beyond 2020

In May 2007 we launched ten goals that will shape our work over the next decade and beyond.

To achieve these goals, we form partnerships with other charities and medical research organisations, as well as professional and public health bodies, pharmaceutical companies, the Government and our supporters – whose dedication is essential to our progress.

You can read about our progress against these goals in the report we published in September 2010.

We are working with our partners to achieve the following goals by 2020:

Cancer Research UK has developed ten goals to measure our success over the coming years in beating cancer. We will work with our partners to achieve the following by 2020:

People will know how to reduce their risk of cancer – Three-quarters of the UK public will be aware of the main lifestyle choices they can make to reduce their risk of getting cancer
The number of smokers will fall dramatically – Four million fewer adults will be smokers, preventing thousands of new cases of cancer every year
People under 75 will be less likely to get cancer – The chances of a person developing cancer up to the age of 75 will fall from more than one in four to one in five
Cancer will be diagnosed earlier – Two-thirds of all cancer cases will be diagnosed at a stage when the cancer can be successfully treated
We will understand how cancer starts and develops – We will have a detailed understanding of the causes and changes in the body in two-thirds of all cases of cancer
There will be better treatments with fewer side effects – Treatments that accurately target the cancer and have few serious side effects will be available for at least half of all patients
More people will survive cancer – Survival rates for all common cancers will increase, with more than two-thirds of newly-diagnosed patients living for at least five years
We will especially tackle cancer in low income communities – The differences in the risk of dying from cancer between the most affluent and the least affluent will be reduced by half
People with cancer will get the information they need – At least nine out of ten patients will be able to access the information they need at the time of diagnosis and during treatment
We will continue to fight cancer beyond 2020 – Sufficient scientists, doctors, nurses and infrastructure will be in place to ensure continued rapid progress in the fight against cancer beyond 2020

Character Profile.

Name: Sally Age: 14 Gender: Female Status: Abused. She is generally a quiet shy person who wants her chance to shine and become someone famous who people can adore and love. She has a twin sister called Sonia who she is extremely protective over and vows to never let anything happen to. She generally takes most of the blame for what Sonia does as she cares a lot about her. Her mum physically abuses her but she doesn't resent her. She is convinced that one day it will end and her mum will love her again. She is afraid of finding help for herself as she fears that her and her sister will be put into care and separated.
