What a busy day at Devon Chamber of Commerce Business Event!

It was a pleasure to be part of such a well-organised and informative day filled with networking, collaboration, and meaningful conversations.

We were proud to help raise awareness of breast cancer during this important awareness month — reminding every one of the importance of early detection and regular screening. 💗

Our first podcast, we met Father Christmas, had a hand massage and ran out of merch ! How many events can you say that about 😂

Early detection truly saves lives — and conversations like these make such a difference 🙌🏼

A huge shoutout to the Kier staff for going all out with their upcoming “Wear Pink Hi-Vis” day to help raise awareness and funds for breast cancer charities 🫶🏼
We were lucky enough to be gifted two today and think they look great 💕

Thank you again for inviting us to be part of such an important and inspiring staff wellbeing session.

We can’t wait to see all the amazing photos of your team turning the dockyard pink!

💗 Breast screening saves lives — don’t put yours on hold.

If you have any worries or questions about your breast screening, your local screening team or breast screening nurse is always here to help with advice and support.

This simple, important check can detect changes in the breast before they can be seen or felt — giving you the best chance at early detection.

✨ Make sure you're up to date, (every 3 years). If you have missed an appointment, it's never too late to reschedule, call our friendly team on 01752 431652.
