Bowel Cancer UK have a team of awareness volunteers based across Scotland who deliver free bowel cancer awareness talks.
Bowel Cancer UK is the UK’s leading bowel cancer charity and they are here to help you and the communities you support gain a better understanding of bowel cancer, the fourth most common cancer in Scotland.
Delivered by a volunteer with a personal connection to bowel cancer, you’ll learn about the most common symptoms and risk factors and the importance of the NHS bowel screening programme. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable, especially if diagnosed early. Help raise awareness so more lives can be saved. Find out more and book your talk here.
They also welcome opportunities to host awareness stands at local events (particularly events with a health and wellbeing focus). If you’re organising an event and would like to request a bowel cancer awareness stand, please contact their team in Scotland: scotadmin@bowelcanceruk.org.uk
