Bowel Cancer Awareness Month

Cancer / Digestive Health

April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer and funds to support our work.  

Someone dies of bowel cancer every 30 minutes in the UK. But with your help we can change that. Our latest survey showed that nearly four in ten people in the UK can't name a single symptom of bowel cancer. That's why we've launched our #KnowTheHigh5 campaign to raise awareness of the red flag symptoms of the disease.

Watch our brand new video and hear from people in our community about what to look out for. Knowing the symptoms is so important – it really could save your life.

On this page you'll find out about all the ways you can get involved this April and help us raise awareness of bowel cancer. Don't forget to sign up to our newsletter and follow us on TwitterFacebookInstagram and LinkedIn to stay up to date with all our latest news.
