By becoming a Bowel Cancer Awareness Champion, you'll be helping us to raise vital awareness of bowel cancer symptoms. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early. In fact, 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer if its diagnosed at the earliest stage. You can help to make early diagnosis possible. As a Bowel Cancer Awareness Champion you’ll be helping us to reach as many people as possible, equipping them with the tools they need to spot bowel cancer as early as possible.
This role is all about using your voice, in your community – whether that’s the place you live, a group your part of, your place of work or your online network – to raise as much awareness as possible. You’ll be helping us to connect with communities we may not have reached yet, whilst raising awareness in your area.
When you sign up, you’ll receive a pack through the post containing a selection of leaflets and posters with information about the symptoms to look out for.
Help bring us one step closer to a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer.
Please note: This is a micro volunteering opportunity which means it's a one off ask. You can do this whenever suits you, in your local community.
