Ending Discrimination Against Cancer Survivors
Cured of cancer, yet still refused a loan, a mortgage or insurance. We work so that a medical history stops being a financial sentence.
Cancer is no longer a death sentence. Recovery should not be a financial one.
Cured, still penalised
Years or even decades after being cured, survivors are judged on their medical history.
Loans, mortgages, insurance
Banks and insurers refuse cover or charge more. That unequal treatment is financial discrimination.
When the oncologist says cured
Financial institutions should follow the medical conclusion. Nobody should pay twice for their disease.

The Right To Be Forgotten as a Human Right
On 21 October 2026, policymakers, survivors, legal experts, clinicians, researchers and patient representatives met in Brussels for a full day on the Right To Be Forgotten. An associated event of the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU. Thank you to all speakers and participants.
Five priorities we are working towards
Real lives behind the laws
Testimonials show policymakers what discrimination looks like in practice.
A new video is on its way: cancer survivors each share one word about life after cancer.
