💙World Cancer Day Fundraiser💙

To mark World Cancer Day 2026, some of our Kingsway team will be taking part in a sponsored walk in support of The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, an incredible organisation that provides specialist cancer care to so many patients and families.

Cancer affects so many lives, and this is our small way of showing support, raising awareness and giving back.

If you're able to donate, no matter how small, we would be hugely grateful. Every contribution makes a different.

January 2026 marks Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, an important time dedicated to raising awareness about cervical cancer, its prevention, and early detection🩵🩷

Cervical cancer remains one of the most preventable forms of cancer, yet thousands of women are diagnosed annually. The month also serves as a reminder for people aged 25 to 64 to attend their cervical screening appointments. Known as the ‘smear test,’ this procedure detects abnormal cells that could potentially develop into cancer.

Symptoms of cervical cancer can include:
Vaginal bleeding that’s unusual for you – including bleeding during or after s*x,
Pain when intimate with a partner.
Pain in your lower back, between your hip bones (pelvis), or in your lower tummy.
between your periods or after the menopause, or having heavier periods than usual.

If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your GP.

It’s so important to book your cervical screening. If you’re overdue, please contact us on 0161 804 9899 to arrange an appointment📞
