💙 Help Raise Awareness of Ovarian Cancer 💙

Did you know ovarian cancer affects around 7,600 women in the UK every year? It’s the sixth most common cancer in women, and early awareness can make a huge difference.

The NHS Lincolnshire ICB is creating a new campaign to help more women recognise the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer sooner — and we’d love your help!

🩵 Please take just a few minutes to complete our short survey:
👉 https://lincolnshire.icb.nhs.uk/ovarian-cancer

Your feedback will help us:
✨ Understand how aware people are of ovarian cancer
✨ Spot any knowledge gaps in our communities
✨ Create clear and meaningful messages that truly make an impact

Every response helps us spread life-saving awareness. Thank you for taking part! 💙

Registering with your GP as a carer
If you look after someone, letting your GP know you’re a carer can make a real difference. By registering, you’ll be added to the carers’ register – helping your GP understand your responsibilities and offer the right support.

This could mean:
✨ Help with managing prescriptions
✨ Access to the vaccinations you’re entitled to
✨ Extra support for your own health and wellbeing

It’s a simple step to make sure you’re looked after too. You can tell your GP in person, over the phone, or by using the Registering with your GP template.

🌟 Support ICON Week 2025 🌟

ICON Week raises awareness of the stress and frustration that crying babies can cause—and how to cope safely. It reminds everyone that babies cry, you can cope, and offers guidance to help prevent harm and support families.

👨‍👩‍👧 How parents can help themselves

Remember: It’s normal for babies to cry—sometimes for long periods.

If you feel overwhelmed, put your baby in a safe place (like a cot) and step away for a few minutes to calm down.

Never shake a baby.

Reach out for support—talk to family, friends, your health visitor or GP.

🤝 How you can support the cause

Share the message: Tell friends, family and your community about ICON Week and its resources.

Donate: Your contribution helps fund vital awareness campaigns and resources for parents.

➡️ Donate here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/iconweek2025

🔗 Learn more and find resources
Visit the official ICON website: https://iconcope.org/

Together, we can help parents stay calm, keep babies safe, and spread the message: Babies cry, you can cope.
