Bowel Cancer Awareness Month Toolkit
They say knowledge is power, so this April we’re asking everyone to share important information about bowel cancer. Will you help #PassItOn?
In this toolkit you’ll find social media graphics, videos, copy and posters that you can use to spread the word to your friends, colleagues and customers.
If you have any questions, please get in touch at communications@bowelcanceruk.org.uk.
Thank you for your support.

Research shows that more than nine in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it’s diagnosed at the earliest stage.
This is why this #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, @bowelcanceruk are asking everyone to share the symptoms of the disease.
Knowing the symptoms is important to help spot bowel cancer early. The earlier it’s found, the more treatable it’s likely to be.

This #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth, @bowelcanceruk want everyone to be able to recognise the symptoms of bowel cancer.
They’re asking everyone to share the symptoms because when you #PassItOn you could help someone else notice when something isn’t right.
Having these symptoms doesn’t always mean you have bowel cancer. But it’s still important to find out what’s causing them. Bowel Cancer UK’s information is there to support you.

Bowel cancer can affect anyone, whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, or where you live. The most important thing to know is that – the earlier the disease is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be.

Spread the word to your staff
However you share staff updates in your organisation, we’ve got some suggested copy to make it quick and easy for you to spread the word to staff and encourage them to get involved.
April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer, the fourth most common cancer in the UK.
The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. In fact, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it is diagnosed at the earliest stage.
Why not get involved this April and help spread the word:
- Attend an online awareness talk given by a volunteer with real life experience of bowel cancer
- Follow Bowel Cancer UK on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn then tag, share and encourage others to get involved
- Browse the stories of those affected by bowel cancer or share your own story on the Bowel Cancer UK story wall
