📅A UK-wide emergency alert test will take place on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm.

➡️Mobile phones will emit a loud siren and vibrate - even if they are on silent.

➡️Whilst these alerts aim to protect the public in emergencies, they could put victim-survivors of domestic abuse at risk - especially those who rely on hidden phones as part of their safety plan.

For information on how you can opt out of this test, find more information here: https://www.gov.uk/alerts/opting-out

🚨 Breaking science news 🚨

Our scientists have proven that exercise can help reduce the risk of colon cancer coming back.

This trial followed patients after they finished treatment, and gave three years of tailored fitness coaching to help them meet their exercise goals.

These weekly classes were specifically adapted to each person, giving the patients freedom to choose everything from brisk walks to cycling, swimming and beyond.

For 69-year-old-Margaret, it was transformative: “I’d never exercised before, but now I’m stronger, fitter, and my anxiety is better."

While the link between exercise and wellbeing has been known for a long time, this is a discovery that will help to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of people following bowel cancer treatment even more than previously thought.

Amazing work from everyone involved 🌟
