We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Siny and everyone who took the time to attend the Health Promotion Event at the SDA Church this weekend.

It was amazing to see so many people gathered together to learn more about their health and wellbeing. Our stall, which focused on Breast Screening and general breast awareness information, was a huge success thanks to your interest and engagement. 🙏

The turnout was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have had the opportunity to connect with each and every one of you. We hope you found the event informative and enjoyable, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon! 😊

What an incredible honor for our Matron Siny Thankachan and the Avon Breast Screening Team, who won the Community Champion award at the staff NBT awards! 🎉

Their crucial work in promoting breast screening, awareness, and education has shone a light on the importance of breast screening, early detection, and self-examination. Ultimately, aiming to improve outcomes for those who may be affected by breast cancer.

Focusing on areas with low uptake of breast screening in Bristol, they work with community-based organizations to empower and support people to be able to take control of their health. Providing them with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed decisions about their wellbeing. By doing so, they are helping to bridge the gap in health inequalities and promote a culture of breast health awareness in the community.

Congratulations to the entire team!

A huge thank you to each and every one of you from the Resound Church who took the time to join us and be a part of this important conversation on 01/11/25. Everyone we spoke to was not only engaged and interested but also keen to spread the word on all things breast screening, awareness, and health.

It was amazing to see passionate individuals come together to make a difference. We're thrilled to have had the opportunity to connect with you all and share valuable information that can truly make a positive impact on the community. We're already looking forward to returning in the new year and continuing this important work 🥳. Bring on 2026! 🎉

What a wonderful message, very sad to hear the news for Davina McCall but really pleased she is using this experience to help the masses. 🫶

We're so grateful to Davina McCall for sharing her experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer so openly and highlighting the importance of being breast aware.

Anyone can get breast cancer, so it's important to know what’s normal for you.

Touch your breasts

Look for changes

Check anything new or unusual with a GP

There’s no right way to check. Just make sure you do it regularly. Find out more here: https://brnw.ch/21wXq83
