Cancer Screening Progress to date

Well, here we are at Q3 (Quarter 3), after much intense activity from so many participants. 😊 Who knew we would have such an amazing response from our lovely community. It truly warms the cockles to know that folk are so kind, generous, and warm-hearted to lend a hand in promoting a process that could save lives. So far, our four amazingly talented trainers have trained thirty eight Cancer Screening Champions.

Then cross your fingers for two weeks straight hoping the weather behaves… and somehow, it did. At least for the morning!

Community Spirit blossoms in Great Yarmouth

I wonder if you have noticed this:  when you need help with something, just like I did this week and..... Well, firstly, let me give some context - having made some Cancer Screening videos in English, I wanted to reach our non-English speakers - how to do that?
