Sarcoma Awareness Month

Sarcoma Awareness Month takes place across the whole of July, raising awareness of sarcoma, a rare cancer of the bone and soft tissue that is often diagnosed late. It encourages people to know the signs and seek help early.

When is Sarcoma Awareness Month?

Sarcoma Awareness Month is held in July (1-31). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.

Why Sarcoma Awareness Month matters

Sarcoma is often called a forgotten cancer because it is rare and less well understood, which can delay diagnosis. Greater awareness helps people spot symptoms sooner and supports vital research and care. Explore community support volunteering.

There are three simple ways to make Sarcoma Awareness Month count:

• Fundraise — take on a sponsored challenge or host an event to raise money for sarcoma research and care.
• Raise awareness — share the warning signs of sarcoma, such as an unexplained lump, so people know when to get checked.
