🔵 Prostate Cancer Awareness Month | September 2025 🔵

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK, but early detection can save lives. Don’t ignore the signs, and know your risk.

💡 What is Prostate Cancer?

⚠️ Know the Risk Factors
✔️ Age over 50
✔️ Black ethnicity
✔️ Family history of prostate or breast cancer

🚨 Watch for Symptoms
• Trouble urinating
• Frequent urination at night
• Blood in urine or semen
• Pain in the back, hips, or pelvis

📚✏️ Back to School in Cumbria! ✏️📚

It’s almost that time again, next week our schools will be welcoming students back for a brand-new term! We hope everyone has had a fantastic summer and is ready for an exciting year ahead. 🌟

As part of keeping our children healthy this winter, flu vaccines will be offered in schools soon. The nasal spray vaccine is a quick and easy way to protect your child against flu and help prevent it spreading in the community.

✅ Look out for the consent forms from your child’s school and return them promptly.
✅ For more information about the flu vaccine for children, visit the NHS website or speak to your GP Surgery.

Let’s work together to keep our schools happy, healthy, and ready for learning! 📖🍎
