🕯️ Candlelit Vigils – Standing Together Against Domestic & Sexual Abuse 🕯️

We’re sharing details of upcoming Candlelit Vigils taking place across our area to mark the UN’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls.

These events honour those affected by domestic and sexual abuse and offer a space for reflection, solidarity, and remembrance.

At each vigil there will be:
🕯️ A minute’s silence
💛 Stories and words from survivors
✨ Candle lighting to honour the two women who lose their lives to gender-based violence each week in the UK

Everyone is welcome to join at any point. If you can, please bring a tea light holder or jar — candles will be provided.

These events are supported by Next Link, Safe Link, and partner organisations across Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.

🤍 Lung Cancer Awareness Month – November 🤍

This month, we’re helping to raise awareness of lung cancer — the importance of early detection, support, and reducing stigma.

Lung cancer can affect anyone, whether you smoke or not. Knowing the signs and acting early can make a big difference:

🔹 A cough that doesn’t go away after 3 weeks
🔹 Chest infections that keep coming back
🔹 Coughing up blood
🔹 Feeling breathless or more tired than usual
🔹 Unexplained weight loss or chest pain

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, please speak to your GP — it’s always better to get checked.

Early diagnosis saves lives. Together, we can help more people get the care and support they need. 💙
