We work really closely with the wonderful St. Augustine's Centre Halifax and their amazing cancer champions. One thing we do it a quarterly cervical screening pop up; an informal opportunity to inform and empower women

Rachel had many meaningful conversations today, but most importantly she guided in the booking of 3 cervical screening appointments! These are women that have never attended before 🙌 taking steps to protect their health ❤️‍🩹

Watch out for the future 👀 as we've got much more in the pipeline!

✨ Big energy yesterday! ✨
Our team, partners, and incredible community came together to welcome Heather McLean, Director of Communities & Systems Partnerships at Macmillan.

We shared the real impact of our work — powerful stories, real change, and why this project must continue. 💚

The room was buzzing with passion, pride, and purpose. Everyone left reminded of one thing: this work matters, and we’re just getting started.

Had an amazing time at our chat and chai soap-making session! 🍵🧼 The ladies crafted beautiful organic soaps, like lavender and honey, perfect for the skin. It was such a lovely session, and everyone enjoyed making their own skincare treats! ✨

We’re proud to share that our very own Sarah Thorne Powell was featured on BBC Radio Leeds last Thursday as part of NHS Health Day on the Rima Ahmed Morning Show.
Sarah spoke about the Calderdale Cancer Aware Project and the vital work our team is doing across the borough to help raise awareness of cancer, encourage people to recognise signs and symptoms early, and support communities to access the right information and services.
It’s fantastic to see our team’s work being highlighted on such a well-known platform — helping to spread important health messages and reach even more people in our community.

🎧 Listen back here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002pygs

⏱️ Skip to 1 minute 55 seconds to hear Sarah talking about the project and the impact of the team’s work.

A huge well done to Sarah for representing the project so brilliantly, and thank you to BBC Radio Leeds for shining a spotlight on this important work! 💛

Waking you up each weekday morning, it's Rima Ahmed.
