MS Awareness Week 2026 💙

More than 150,000 people in the UK are living with Multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord 🧠. It can cause a wide range of symptoms, including blurred vision 👁️ and difficulties with movement, thinking, and emotions.

MS Awareness Week aims to raise awareness of the condition and highlight the issues that matter most to people living with MS 📣.

In 2026, the focus is on challenging assumptions about MS—and the harm these misunderstandings can cause ⚠️.

MS Awareness Week 2026 will take place on 20 - 26 April.

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK.

Bowel Cancer Awareness Month aims to highlight the importance of early diagnosis and understanding the symptoms ⚠️.

Common symptoms can include changes in bowel habits, blood in your stool, or unexplained weight loss. These symptoms don’t always mean cancer—but it’s important to get checked 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️.

The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it is—and the more likely it can be cured 💙.

Find out more about symptoms via Bowel Cancer UK: at the link below ⬇️⬇️

Learn all about the symptoms of bowel cancer. If you have one or more of these, or if things just don't feel right, go to see your GP.
