About Bowel Cancer New Zealand
We're a registered charity dedicated to reducing the incidence and impact of bowel cancer across Aotearoa through research, advocacy, awareness, education, and support.
Bowel cancer is New Zealand's second deadliest cancer. We believe it doesn't have to be. Through screening advocacy, funded research, free support services, and public education, we're working to change outcomes for all New Zealanders.

A small team, a big mission
We're a small, dedicated team driven by the belief that no New Zealander should die from a cancer that's treatable when caught early. From our nurses to our advocacy team, every one of us is here because we've seen the difference early detection and support can make.
