We're the UK's leading bowel cancer charity

Our roadshow is heading to Manchester

Friday 21 March 2025

We’re excited to invite Manchester locals to walk inside a giant inflatable bowel when it tours the city to raise awareness of bowel cancer and its symptoms. 

The giant inflatable bowel — measuring nineteen feet by seven feet — is an interactive experience to demonstrate the various stages of bowel cancer, raise awareness of its symptoms, the importance of taking part in screening and good bowel health. Our roadshow gives people a chance to ask any questions or share any worries about bowel cancer to one of our friendly and experienced staff and volunteer team.  

Come and chat to us on: 

  • Wednesday 2 April: 10am-4pm, Asda Eastlands Superstore, Sport City, Ashton New Road, Manchester, M11 4BD 
  • Thursday 3 April: 10am - 4pm, St Ann’s Square, Manchester, M2 7JB 

We're also attending Stockport County Football Club: 

  • Saturday 29 March between 11am – 1.30pm, Together Stand, Edgeley Park, SK3 9DD - Our team will be visiting Stockport County Football Club with an Information Hub, to chat with County supporters
  • Wednesday 2 April, 10am-12pm, Edgeley Park, K3 9DD - Stockport County Community Trust will be hosting a drop-in awareness session. Members of our staff and the council’s Healthy Stockport team will be there to answer questions and distribute information about good bowel health

Genevieve Edwards, Chief Executive at Bowel Cancer UK, said: “We're excited to bring our 2025 UK roadshow tour to Manchester, starting important conversations about bowel cancer. Our mission is to raise awareness about the symptoms, encourage people to contact their GP if they notice any signs and highlight the importance of bowel cancer screening for those who are eligible. We’re hoping our giant inflatable bowel will be a fun and engaging way to break the ice and start lifesaving conversations so come and visit us. No appointment needed — just drop by, ask questions about your bowel health and get signposted to further support. See you inside!”

In front of them is a table, which is covered with a light teal Bowel Cancer UK table cloth. On the table are some booklets and leaflets, hand sanitiser bottles and some tote bags. In the top left hand corner is a graphic of a white banner. The banner has the words 'Manchester' and '2 - 3 April' on it, in dark teal.
