They kindly fund our Good Bowel Health booklet.

Deborah, our CEO also appeared in their newsletter. Yakult UK Ltd supports a range of digestive health charities, and they invited us to tell them more about our work.

"Just under 40,000 men and women are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK each year. If diagnosed early, the disease has an extremely high survival rate. However, some people either find it uncomfortable to discuss the symptoms or simply do not know what they are.

This is why our work at Bowel Cancer UK - to encourage people to recognise the symptoms and to act on their concerns so that they have the best chance of survival - is so important. We also want to help people understand that simple steps such as eating healthily and taking regular exercise can improve their digestive health.

Our Simple Steps to Good Bowel Health booklet includes straightforward advice and shows that making a few simple changes to diet and lifestyle doesn't have to be challenging - and that such changes can also help you to reduce the risk of developing the disease.

At Bowel Cancer UK, we aim to save lives by raising awareness of bowel cancer. We also campaign for the best treatment and care and offer practical support and advice to people who have or have had bowel cancer."
