We're the UK's leading bowel cancer charity

Our partnership with Andrex®

We've partnered with Andrex®to helppeople to talk about their toilet habits and reduce any embarrassment 

We started working with Andrex®in June 2022 as part of our#GetOnARoll campaign, which saw information about bowel cancer symptoms placed on their loo roll packaging.    

In March 2024 we launched an expanded three-year partnership alongside Andrex’s new ‘Get Comfortable’ brand.As part of this new commitment, the UK’s leading toilet roll brand pledged over £2.3 million to support our work, alongside our continued presence on pack.   

Most recently, in July 2025, we partnered for Andrex®’s ‘Look Back and Track’ campaign. We wanted to encourage the nation to track their poo, get to know what’s normal for them and be aware of potential red-flag symptoms. You can find out more below.

Our mission 

Our joint mission is to get every person in the UK to have a healthier relationship with going to the toilet and poo. We want to start a conversation about bowel health, so everyone knows what’s normal for them, and everyone has the confidence to go and see their GP if something isn’t right. That way more people can be diagnosed earlier, when bowel cancer is easier to treat.  

Andrex®’s ‘Look Back and Track’ campaign 

 In July 2025, we launched the next phase of our incredible partnership, encouraging everyone to ‘Look Back and Track’. 

We track our steps, our heart rate, even our sleep, but one in four of us* still don’t check our poo. Together with Andrex®, we set out to change this, encouraging people to seek help if something's not right. 

Our campaign was visible across out-of-home sites, video-on-demand, social media, supermarkets, festivals and more. You can take a look at an example here!  

 

* Opinium research conducted for Andrex® and Bowel Cancer UK. Titled Look Back & Track, dated 23 May - 27 May 2025. A nationally-representative sample of 2,000 UK adults was selected to ensure a representative distribution across key demographic factors such as age, gender, region, and socio-economic status.

In the opening there is a man in a yellow shirt leaning over looking down into the bowl with white text reading 'Did you know your poo might be your most overlooked health check?'

Back in 2024  

To launch our partnership, and the original #GetComfortable campaign, we joined forces with legendary reality TV show, ITV’s Celebrity Big Brother. Our co-branded TV and video-on-demand adverts featuredSharon Osbourne, and other familiar faces, sitting on a chair made of Andrex® toilet paper in the shows iconic Diary Room talking about toilet habits.

On screens across the UK 

We featured on Andrex®’s new advert, shown across the UK including at London’s world-famous Piccadilly Lights. The advert showed a young girl proudly showing off her poo to her loving grandad with the tag line: “Born Unembarrassed. Stay Unembarrassed.”

An image of Matt with a block of text describing his story reading “Since my bowel cancer diagnosis, I want people to know that you shouldn’t ignore the signs of the disease. We need to get comfortable with knowing what is and isn’t normal for our bodies - you really should pay attention to any changes in your body or habits, and speak out and contact your GP if you’re experiencing any symptoms.” Matt, diagnosed with stage 2 bowel cancer in May 2020

Matt has shared why he thinks this message is so important
