Getting the messages out there about the importance of having symptoms checked early and attending your screening appointments. Lots of local people from London Borough of Havering came to talk to us and take away important cancer information. Thanks again to Age UK and partners for organising it.

The new Barts Health Breast Cancer Centre will have a big impact on research. By making research part of everyday breast cancer care, it will mean new discoveries can be tested and used to improve how breast cancer is diagnosed and treated locally.
