Health Hour Awareness Talk

As well as finding information about our breast awareness talks on this page, you can also book an information stand for an event by filling in the below form. For more information, please contact the team on 0161 291 4400 or email info@preventbreastcancer.org.uk

Suitable for companies, community groups, schools and universities, our Health Hour is a great way to promote the health of your employees, community or students and to demonstrate their value to your organisation.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and the biggest cause of death for women between 35 – 49. To ensure we protect ourselves, our mothers, our sisters, our daughters, and many others – it is extremely important to be aware and talk about the risks, signs, and symptoms of breast cancer.

Thousands have benefited from hearing our crucial messages at our breast awareness talks about breast cancer prevention. We offer in-person talks for groups of 10+, virtual presentations, or a hybrid option where we combine the two.

To book your talk, please complete the form below. On receiving your completed form, a member of our team will be in touch to confirm details. Please note that we may need two weeks from the date of your request to arrange so please get in touch as soon as possible.

We welcome opportunities to deliver our breast awareness talks to people of all ages and in a variety of settings; workplaces, community groups, schools, universities and other groups, tailoring content to the audience and time slot available.

Talks can be tailored to your group but will usually take a look at the background of our breast cancer research into prediction, prevention and protection. We will explain more about the risk factors linked to breast cancer, provide practical ways to understand how to reduce risk, raise awareness of signs and symptoms, and answer any questions. The breast awareness talks usually takes between 30-60 minutes including questions, but we can adapt this to the length of time you have available.

  • How to reduce your risk of developing the disease
  • Signs and symptoms to look out for
  • Causes of breast cancer
  • How to check yourself
  • Why we’re focused on prevention of breast cancer
  • Our latest breast cancer research findings

For community groups, schools and colleges, we deliver these health talks free of charge, but for any commercial organisations, we ask for a minimum donation of £250 as this helps to cover our own cost. Some companies prefer to fundraise for us to generate the donation, and we’re more than happy to help with ideas and support.

We understand that £250 may not be feasible for every organisation, so to ensure our talks are accessible to a wide range of organisations, we encourage you to complete the form below and mention this to the member of our team that contacts you so we can discuss available options.
