April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer, the fourth most common cancer in Scotland.
The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. In fact, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it is diagnosed at the earliest stage.
Why not get involved this April and help spread the word:
- Join one of our free online awareness talks delivered by a volunteer with a personal experience of bowel cancer. Learn about the symptoms of bowel cancer, risk factors and the NHS bowel screening programme.
- Use our social media toolkit to share important information about bowel cancer. The toolkit includes social media graphics, videos and suggested copy.
- Become a Bowel Cancer Awareness Champion and help us distribute information about the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer in your local community. No long-term commitment required – just a little bit of time and local knowledge.
