Bowel Cancer UK: Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
- Area of Work: The ALLIANCE
- Type: News Item
- Published: 7th March 2025
April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer.
The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. In fact, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it is diagnosed at the earliest stage.
Get involved this April and help spread the word:
- Join one of Bowel Cancer UK’s free online awareness talks delivered by a volunteer with a personal experience of bowel cancer. Learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer, risk factors and the NHS bowel screening programme.
- Use their toolkit to share important information about bowel cancer. The toolkit includes social media graphics, videos, suggested copy and posters.
For more information about bowel cancer and details of how to get involved during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, visit bowelcanceruk.org.uk/bowel-cancer-awareness-month
