💙 UK Malnutrition Awareness Week | 17th – 23rd November 2025 💙

This week, we’re raising awareness of an often overlooked issue — malnutrition.
Over 3 million people in the UK are at risk, including older adults, those with long-term health conditions, and people recovering from illness or surgery.

🫶 Ask, Look, Listen:
👂 Check in on loved ones and neighbours
🍎 Encourage good nutrition in your community
🤝 Support anyone who may be struggling

Malnutrition isn’t just about not eating enough — it’s about getting the right nutrients to stay strong, healthy, and independent.

Together, we can make sure no one goes unnoticed or unsupported. 💙

🫁 November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month 🫁

Lung cancer doesn’t always show signs early, and it doesn’t discriminate. Please — pay attention to your body. Get regular wellness checks. Talk to your doctor if something feels “off.” And if you smoke, know that it’s never too late to quit. Your lungs — and your loved ones — will thank you. 💙
Let’s spread awareness, support research, and honor those we’ve lost — and those still fighting. 💪🕊️
