Interested in hosting an event?

Organizing a charity event is a great way to get the word out about Oesophago-gastric, to further expand the circle of support for the families we help throughout Northern Ireland, to raise awareness and to raise money in a way that is fun and rewarding.

Your event can be as large or as small as you are comfortable planning. Here are some ideas to get your creativity flowing:

  • Brunch or Dinner Fundraiser
  • Wine Tasting (at a local restaurant/business or in your home)

  • Come Dine With Me event

Other Ideas

  • A Decade Party (ex: 1950s or 1980s)
  • Superbowl or World Cup Party
  • Dress down day at work

Early Diagnosis is Key #CatchItEarly

Oesophageal cancer like many other cancers does not discriminate between age or sex and knowing and recognising the signs and symptoms are crucial to early diagnosis.  If you suffer from any of the following symptoms for longer than 3 weeks you should consult your doctor.

  • Persistent Indigestion
  • Difficulty swallowing or food sticking
  • Heartburn acid reflux
  • Hiccupping that wont go away
  • Unexplained weight loss.
