Who we are
An award-winning community charity.
Family Unit Trust strengthens families, raises cancer awareness and tackles health inequalities across Greater Manchester - so no family faces cancer, hardship or crisis alone.
Our story
Born from lived experience, powered by community
Founded in 2020 in Manchester, Family Unit Trust was built on the conviction that no family should ever feel alone, unsupported or unheard during their most difficult moments.
We work especially closely with BAME communities - where awareness of cancer risk factors and screening uptake have historically been lower - to make sure every voice is heard, every concern is taken seriously, and every family has somewhere to turn.
Our mission
To strengthen families, empower communities, tackle health inequalities, and provide practical and emotional support to those who need it most.
Our vision
A future where every individual has access to support, every voice is heard, every concern is taken seriously, and no family is left behind.
