Check your skin this winter! Skin cancer can occur all year round.

If you notice anything you are worried about, your GP wants to hear from you.

The chances are it isn't skin cancer, but if it is finding it early can make a difference.

Blood in your p*e can be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer. Blood in your poo or bleeding from your bottom can be a sign of bowel cancer.

Cancer doesn’t care, but we do. If you’re worried, speak to your GP.

The cancer awareness roadshow is at Tesco today (Thursday 26/2/26) and Sunday 1 March. Our friendly team will be on hand to talk to the residents about the symptoms of cancer you should look out for, cancer screening and what to do if you’re worried about cancer.

Finding cancer early can make all the difference. Why not come along and “Get Cancer Clever”?

February is oesophageal cancer awareness month and we have leaflets and info about how it’s important not to ignore persistent heartburn from

Cervical screening won’t detect ovarian, womb or other gynaecological cancers.

Don't ignore symptoms like pain, bloating, or unexplained bleeding, even if you’ve recently had your cervical screening.

If you see blood in your p*e (it doesn’t matter if it’s red, pink or dark brown) talk to your GP.

It’s probably nothing serious, but it could be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer, and spotting it early makes it easier to treat.

Skin cancer doesn’t hibernate!

Remember to check your skin even in winter.

If you notice any changes to the size, shape or colour of your moles, have a mole that’s crusty, bleeding or inflamed, itchy or painful or new unusual marks on your skin that don’t go away after a few weeks, then your GP wants to see you.

Don’t wait until summer get it checked now. The chances are it won’t be skin cancer but if it is finding it as early as possible can mean it is easier to treat.
