Our impact

We want to make cervical cancer a disease of the past, reduce the impact for everyone affected and to see less people diagnosed, through support, information and campaigns. Here you can read our latest annual report which features important highlights of our work.

Annual report 2019-20

Last year (August 2019 - July 2020) was our 20th anniversary year. We launched new support services, achieved policy successes and expanded our outreach services.

Along with many organisations we faced significant challenges due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you to our supporters and volunteers who gave their time and raised funds to help us through, thanks to you Jo’s is still here.
