NHS bowel cancer screening kits are offered to everyone aged between 50 and 74.

They can help find cancer early, before you even have any symptoms. And the earlier cancer is found, the easier it can be to treat.

When your kit arrives, put it by the loo. Don’t put it off.

Let someone else know they should send their kit back – especially as April is Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

Two lives lost. Many others changed forever. 💔

The recent meningitis outbreak in Kent highlights that more must be done to protect young people.

We’ve joined forces with Meningitis Now to call on the UK Government to:

📢 Improve routine access to the MenB vaccine for teenagers and young adults.
📢 Conduct a timely and transparent Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) review that reflects the full impact of MenB.
📢 Fund sustained public awareness activity to strengthen protection.

No family should have to face the devastating impact of meningitis when prevention is possible.
