Amie Martin

I am a Cancer Champion Support Officer in partnership with The Rainbow Project and Macmillan Cancer Support. I am a Macmillan professional and it’s my job to Promote tailored services which empower and support LGBTQIA+ people impacted by cancer as well as provide a vital link between LGBTQIA+ communities and cancer support in this, the first dedicated LGBTQIA+ cancer support service across Northern Ireland for people affected by cancer.

I work with LGBTQIA+ people living with a cancer diagnosis, supporting a close friend or family member living with cancer, and people unsure how to access screening services for cancer, and help professionals working in health or social care with their LGBTQIA+ inclusion. I want to provide the best and most positive outcome for our service users as well as a safe space for them to feel connected to their community.

When I am not at work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our cat, Sage. I also like to watch movies / TV, drawing ,travelling, being with friends and love singing and performing with my theatre group.
