We’re bringing our awareness roadshow to Glasgow
Thursday 7 November 2024
We’re delighted to be visiting Glasgow with our awareness roadshow and will be inviting locals to come and have a chat with us to learn about bowel cancer — the fourth most common cancer in Scotland.
The roadshow allows us to raise awareness of bowel cancer symptoms amongst locals. We'll also be emphasising 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 19 November from 10am – 4pm at The Forge Shopping Centre (1221 Gallowgate, Glasgow, G31 4EB)
- Wednesday 20 November from 10am – 4pm at Glasgow Central Train Station (79 Gordon Street, Glasgow, G1 3SL)
- Thursday 21 November from 10am – 4pm at St Enoch Shopping Centre (55 St. Enoch Square, Glasgow, G1 4BW)
Genevieve Edwards, Chief Executive at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “We’re really looking forward to talking to lots of people in Glasgow 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 Glasgow, so we’re hoping to start having some lifesaving conversations, answer any questions you have about your bowel health and signpost you to further support. No appointment necessary. See you there!”
The Bowel Cancer UK’s roadshows are funded by the BowelBabe Fund.
