Screening can help prevent bowel cancer or find it at an early stage when it's easier to treat. All you have to do is follow the instructions, pop it back in the letterbox, and get your results back in around 10 days.

Bowel cancer is the 3rd most common type of cancer, and it can affect anyone. This is why it's important that anyone that receives a bowel cancer screening kit uses it. When you turn 50 until you’re 74, you’ll get a kit automatically posted to your home address every 2 years.

Cravings are a normal part of quitting smoking, but that doesn't mean they're easy to deal with.
@wfcouncil

[CGLinWF @CGLinWF]

While cravings will eventually pass the longer you don't smoke, we know they can be tricky to deal with. One way to help you manage your cravings is to use a nicotine replacement or quitting aid, such as gum, patches or vapes. We also understand that not every stop smoking
