You are warmly invited to the next Working Through Cancer Network event where you can hear more about the purpose of the network, the support we are building and how to get involved.

We are delighted that The Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP, former Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, will be joining us to speak about his personal experience of cancer, the challenges of balancing treatment with public life and the insights he has gained from navigating a cancer diagnosis whilst serving in one of the most senior roles in Government.

About the Network
The Working Through Cancer Network exists to support parliamentary staff and others affected by cancer — whether as a patient, carer, line manager, or colleague. We are also developing practical support, including a buddy system and guidance for navigating the help available in Parliament.

RSVP
If you’re planning to attend, in person or online, please RSVP to dan.horrocks@parliament.uk so we can get an idea of numbers.

We hope you will be able to join us for what promises to be a thoughtful and inspiring discussion.

Join the Labour Women’s Parliamentary Staff Network (LWPSN) to:

Meet and connect with other Labour women staffers by being part of our regular social events, both remotely and in Westminster.
Gain advice, tips and support through our Whatsapp group, online resources and regular coffee mornings/zooms.
Have the opportunity to take part in free skilling up events and training throughout the year, from public speaking to digital self-care, campaigning bootcamp, and how to have those difficult conversations.
Hear from inspirational speakers on the issues that affect us as women working in politics, including Labour MPs, journalists, lawyers, unions and parliamentary experts.

The LWPSN is a great social network for women who work for Labour MPs and Peers, including constituency staff and interns. We are an inclusive network, open to all women.
