Last night, Emmy was at the First Kick Foundation Youth Club to talk to young people about social media and its impact on their health-related choices!

Emmy heard that a few young people use social media platforms and are worried about things they are hearing from friends📱

Another young person shared that they 'use TikTok to help with my fitness.'

Parents and young people can share their views on social media usage here: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/0AY3VV/

‘Check It, Don’t Chance It’

A new initiative from the Lancashire and South Cumbria Cancer Alliance is encouraging people to take control of their health with confidence!

They hope to encourage more open conversations and arm people with the facts and knowledge they need to hopefully diagnose cancer earlier.
