Great turnout today at Warrington Hospital health promotion event !
We had a brilliant day chatting to people about why it’s so important to complete your bowel screening kit when it drops through the letterbox.
Big welcome to Bethany and Jenny, our two new team members, who are loving getting out and about spreading the message across Cheshire and Merseyside.
The team are now back in the office busy ordering replacement kits for everyone who asked for one to be sent out. Thanks to everyone who stopped for a chat to learn more about bowel screening 👏

💬 “I work long shifts and thought the test would take too long…”

If that sounds familiar, you're definitely not alone. Lots of people put their bowel screening kit to one side because life gets busy — but sometimes all it takes is one small nudge to get it done. 💙

"When the bowel screening kit arrived, I pushed it to one side. Then I spotted a Call for a Kit post while scrolling on my break.
The three steps made it look so easy — complete, seal, post.
I realised it would take less than a minute, and I could even do it before heading out to work. That was all I needed to finally get it done."

✨ A reminder that screening saves lives — and it’s quicker than
you think.
✨ It takes less than a minute.
✨ You can do it before work, after work, or whenever works for you.

💙 What’s the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme all about?
It’s a simple NHS programme that helps find bowel cancer early – using an easy home test kit called the FIT test.
No hospital trips, no fuss – just a quick test you can do in the comfort of your own home.
If you’re aged 50 to 74 and registered with a GP, you’ll get a kit sent to you in the post every two years.
🌟 Why it matters
Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, and nearly 44,000 people are diagnosed each year.
But the good news is – finding it early can save lives. The earlier it’s found, the easier it is to treat.
Here in Cheshire and Merseyside, our Call For A Kit team is out and about visiting GP surgeries, community groups and local events – chatting with people about why screening is so important.
💡 Screening is all about catching things before you notice any symptoms.
It only takes a few minutes, and it really can make a big difference.
👉 if you’ve misplaced your kit, or didn’t get round to doing it
You can request one here: https://www.uhliverpool.nhs.uk/services/service-finder/cancer/bowel/request-bowel-cancer-screening-kit

📞 Aged 75 or over?
You can still get a test every two years – just call the Bowel Cancer Screening Helpline on 0800 707 6060 and ask for a kit.
Let’s keep looking out for each other and help save lives across Cheshire and Merseyside 💙

What a great start to the week!

I just received the results of my first bowel screening test kit, and I’m so pleased to share that I’ve got a negative result!

It feels amazing to kick off the week on such a positive note. It’s a great reminder of how important it is to stay proactive about our health. Early detection really can make a world of difference.

If you haven’t already, I encourage everyone to get screened – it’s quick, simple, and could be a life-saver.
