Prevent Breast Cancer

At Prevent Breast Cancer, we’re committed to making sure everyone has access to clear, culturally sensitive information about breast cancer signs and symptoms, self examination and early detection.

That’s where our incredible Health Inclusion team comes in.

Say hello to Eva, Azra and Martha, three passionate women working directly with diverse communities across Greater Manchester. Their work is all about breaking down barriers and making sure no community is left behind.

In our latest blog, Martha reflects on her first year with the team 👉 https://loom.ly/7M61uoo

Feel Them On The First 🍒

July is Ethnic Minority Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder that breast cancer can affect anyone, but not everyone has the same access to early diagnosis or information.

Regular self checks help you understand what’s normal for your body, making it easier to spot any unusual changes early.

Not sure how to check? We have step by step videos available in different languages on our YouTube - https://loom.ly/mUEKCJ8

Early detection saves lives.
