Decembeard – The month of beards!
Throughout the month of December, people are joining together to ditch the shavers and growing a beard to support anyone and everyone affected by bowel cancer. Did you know that Bowel Cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, almost 43,000 people are living in the UK today that has been diagnosed with bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early. We want to help spread awareness! The symptoms of bowel cancer can include:- Bleeding from your bottom and/or blood in your poo
- A persistent and unexplained change in bowel habit
- Unexplained weight loss
- Extreme tiredness for no obvious reason
- A pain or lump in your tummy

Cervical Cancer Prevention Week
23rd to 29th January is Cervical Cancer Prevention WeekDid you know that we can end cervical cancer?
Cervical Screening, HPV vaccinations and treatment for cell changes can all help this. Raising awareness is a key to this.
There are many reasons why people put off attending smear tests, the reasons range from embarassment, triggers, previous experience and time. B Hygienic have been signed up for Time to Test for over a year now – your Employer should never be the reason you cannot attend health screenings – please ask them to sign up!
There are many resources out there to support you, answer any questions you may have and help you with the screening process. Both Jo’s and the Eve Appeal are great places to start.
