Why raising awareness is so important   

Bowel cancer is currently the fourth most common cancer in the UK and the second biggest cancer killer. Around 44,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, and more than 16,800 people die every year from the disease.  

However, it doesn’t have to be this way, as bowel cancer is treatable and curable, especially when caught early That’s why we’re dedicated to raising awareness through our volunteer-led awareness programme.  

What the talk will cover  

The virtual talk will last up to one hour and will be delivered by one of our trained volunteers. They’ll cover:   

• Signs and symptoms — learn the most common symptoms of bowel cancer  

• Risks — gain an awareness of the risk factors associated with bowel cancer  

• Bowel screening — learn about the NHS bowel screening programme and the importance of taking part  

You'll also have the opportunity to ask the volunteer any questions you might have. Many of our volunteers have personal experiences of bowel cancer and have a great deal of knowledge and wisdom to share.  

Alternatively, book a bespoke talk for groups of 15 people or more by completing the booking form on our website. Bookings for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month will close on Friday 21 March – so book yours today!
