Losing someone to su***de can leave us with questions, pain, and emotions that feel impossible to carry alone. You don’t have to navigate this journey in isolation.

A new Support Group for Survivors of Su***de Bereavement is now forming — a safe, confidential space where people can share, listen, and find understanding among others who truly get it.

💙 Cervical Cancer Prevention Week

Let’s talk, learn, and protect.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet too many people miss out on the information and screening that could save their lives. This week is a reminder to prioritise your health and encourage others to do the same.

✨ What you can do today:
• Book your cervical screening if you’re due
• Learn the symptoms and share them with others
• Talk openly—ending stigma saves lives
• Encourage friends, family, and colleagues to check their screening dates
• Celebrate the power of HPV vaccination in protecting future generations

A small action can make a life‑changing difference.

Awareness is protection. Screening is empowerment.

Here are reliable, up‑to‑date sources for cervical cancer awareness, prevention, symptoms, and support. All links come from trusted health organisations and are based on credible

🌱 Want to feel healthier but not sure where to start?
Preventable health conditions are costing lives, putting pressure on the NHS and widening health inequalities. Today, more than a quarter of people in England live with a long‑term condition — and those in the most deprived areas spend 19 fewer years in good health than those in the least deprived.
The NHS Healthy Choices Quiz is a straightforward first step toward making positive changes.

In just a few minutes, it explores your habits around:

• Movement
• Eating
• Alcohol
• Smoking or va**ng
• Mental well-being
• Sleep
You’ll get a personalised score out of 10 and tailored guidance, including access to free NHS digital tools that already support millions every year.
✨ Take the free quiz today and start your journey to better health:
