Community Links delivered free cancer awareness workshops in Tower Hamlets to help residents learn more about cancer screening, symptoms, and healthy lifestyle changes.
The workshops focused particularly on breast, bowel, and cervical cancer screening, where early detection can greatly improve treatment success.
These workshops took place in January and February 2024
Community Links wants to make sure more people take part in cancer screening tests, particularly in communities like Tower Hamlets, where people may avoid them for various reasons.
At the workshops, you’ll learn about signs and symptoms, and the healthy lifestyle changes you can make that might lessen the risks.
While you can ask questions about anything that concerns you, there will be a focus on raising awareness about screenings for breast, bowel, and cervical cancers because detecting them early greatly increases treatment success and saves lives.
