Big C Joins the WOW Bus in Lowestoft
Big C will be joining the ‘WOW’ Bus (Wellness on Wheels) in Lowestoft to help promote early awareness of cancer signs and symptoms.
On September 18th and October 11th, Big C will be on board the WOW Bus in Lowestoft High Street, just outside Greggs near London Road and Surrey Street. The charity will be offering free support to those who may have questions about cancer and raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer to promote earlier diagnosis.
Cath Watts, Big C’s Health Education Officer, said, “This is a great chance for us to get out into the Waveney community and meet local people on their doorstep. We’d encourage anyone visiting Lowestoft High Street on the days we’re there to step aboard the WOW Bus and come and meet our friendly team. We’d be very happy to answer any questions you may have about cancer and the support available for anyone affected. Thank you to the team behind the WOW Bus for this valuable opportunity.”
The WOW Bus travels across Norfolk and Waveney to access those who need extra help with their health and care. It is supported by partner organisations across the Integrated Care Partnership (ICC) including NHS Norfolk and Waveney, Norfolk County Council, East Suffolk Council, the voluntary community and the social enterprise sector.
Big C’s involvement is part of one of the charity’s latest initiatives; a Health Academy, in collaboration with Norfolk & Waveney ICB, which aims to address early diagnosis by improving cancer prevention and cancer awareness within Norfolk and Waveney, with a particular emphasis on areas of deprivation and hard to reach communities, in line with NHS Core20PLUS5 initiative.
