80 families. 12 weeks. £20 worth of fresh fruit and veg, every single week. 👇

Caafi Health has been working to make sure families who are too often left behind get healthy food, health checks, nutritional advice and financial support. But what we're really working towards goes deeper than that. Education. Awareness. A long term shift in how families think about and access their health.

Because real change doesn't stop when the 12 weeks do.

See it for yourself.

In the UK, more than 420,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year, which means someone is diagnosed at least every 90 seconds. (Macmillan Cancer Support data)

Early detection, open conversations, and prevention really matter to early cancer diagnosis. Thanks to all the cancer screening, awareness campaigns, and research, now more cancers are being caught at an earlier stage than in the past, which improves outcomes, but there’s still more to do!

Join us on the 4th of February, World Cancer Day, at Wellspring Surgery to learn about different cancer screening and become a cancer champion to fight cancer!

Meet our cancer champions on the day, learn more about the project, grab resources, and discover more local and Macmillan cancer support services.

Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yet it still affects thousands of women in the UK every year.

Regular NHS cervical screening (smear tests) and the HPV vaccination save lives. Screening checks for high-risk HPV and helps stop cervical cancer before it starts.

This week, let’s remind ourselves and others to:
✔️ Attend your NHS cervical screening when invited
✔️ Encourage friends and family not to ignore their smear test letters
✔️ Support the HPV vaccination programme for young people

All women aged 25 to 64 are invited for cervical screening every 5 years. Everyone with a cervix should be offered screening.

Regular cervical screening is important. You’re still at risk of cervical cancer even if you:

• Have had the HPV vaccine
• Have only had 1 s*xual partner
• Haven’t had penetrative s*x
• Have had the same partner, or have not had s*x, for a long time
• Are a le***an or bis*xual
• Are a trans man or a non-binary person with a cervix
• Have had a subtotal (partial) hysterectomy that did not remove your cervix
