Come and chat to us in Haringey and walk inside a giant inflatable bowel
Wednesday 15 May 2024
We’re bringing our awareness roadshow to Haringey and inviting locals to walk inside a giant inflatable bowel to learn about bowel cancer – the fourth most common cancer in the UK.
The giant inflatable bowel – measuring nineteen feet by seven feet – is an interactive experience to demonstrate the various stages of bowel cancer, raise awareness of its symptoms, the importance of taking part in screening and good bowel health.
Our roadshow gives people a chance to ask any questions or share any worries about bowel cancer to one of our friendly and experienced staff and volunteers.
Come and chat to us on:
- Tuesday 21 May from 8.30am – 4pm outside Wood Green Library (187-197A High Road Wood Green N22 6XD)
- Wednesday 22 May from 8.30am – 4pm outside Wood Green Library (187-197A High Road Wood Green N22 6XD)
Genevieve Edwards, Chief Executive at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “We’re really looking forward to talking to lots of people in Haringey about the disease, the importance of knowing its symptoms, and why you should contact your GP as soon as you spot any signs. We'll be encouraging everyone who is eligible to take part in bowel cancer screening, and talking about how people can reduce their risk of developing bowel cancer.
“We know that awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms is quite low in Haringey, so we hope our giant inflatable bowel is a fun way to break the ice and start having those lifesaving conversations.
“We’re here to welcome everyone to a tour of the giant inflatable bowel, answer any questions you have about your bowel health, and signpost you for further support. No appointment necessary. See you inside!”
Our roadshows are funded by the BowelBabe Fund.
