The UK government is testing the Emergency Alerts system on Sunday 7 September 2025 at 3pm. Compatible mobile phones and tablets will receive an alert, make a loud siren-like sound and vibrate. You will not need to take any action.

The Emergency Alerts system is used to warn if there’s a danger to life nearby, including extreme weather. Regular testing ensures the system is functioning correctly, should it need to be used in a life-threatening emergency.

Find out more at gov.uk/alerts.

Testicular cancer usually only affects one testicle, but it can affect both.
It's important to know what is normal for you. Checking your testicles regularly makes it easier to notice any changes in the size, look or feel of your testicles.

These symptoms are very common and can be caused by many different conditions. Having them does not definitely mean you have testicular cancer, but it's important to get them checked by a GP.

Don’t carry the worry of cancer with you. Find more information. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/testicular-cancer/
