If you’re aged 40–49 and have noticed changes in your poo, it’s important to get checked. Most symptoms won’t be cancer but ruling it out early can save lives. 💛

The Somerset Bowel Service can help if you’re experiencing:
✔ bleeding from your bottom
✔ blood in your poo
✔ changes in your toilet habits
✔ diarrhoea or constipation that doesn’t feel normal
✔ tummy pain
✔ unexplained weight loss

It’s quick and free to see if you’re eligible for a poo test.
👉 Text POO to 82228
👉 Or visit: www.somersetft.nhs.uk/cancer/somerset-bowel-service/

Please share to help raise awareness. 💙

🌟 Chill & Chat Groups – February Update! 🌟

As February brings half term, not all of our groups will be running this month. You can always find the most up‑to‑date information on our website.

If you’re a parent or carer of a child with additional needs or disabilities (aged 0–25), come and join us for a warm cuppa and a friendly chat.

Our Chill & Chat groups offer a relaxed, welcoming space where you can:
• Meet other parents and carers
• Make new friends
• Share experiences, tips, and advice
• Ask questions, or simply enjoy some company

No diagnosis needed, everyone is welcome. And your first warm or soft drink is on us! ☕
You don’t need to have attended anything with us before or be on our database; just come along.
We know that going somewhere new for the first time can feel daunting, if you'd like support before attending, just let us know. We're always happy to help.
We look forward to welcoming you at group 🙂
