Big C news

A weekend of family fun days is taking place on 6-7 April in Great Yarmouth and Gorleston, offering people the opportunity to learn more about their bodies, squeeze through a giant inflatable Big Bum and jump into life-sized educational arcade games as part of a health awareness initiative.

Norfolk Cancer Charity, Big C, has launched its own Health Academy as part of the organisation’s Education Division and in line with NHS Core20PLUS5 initiative.

Leading research and support charity, Breast Cancer Now, is launching a new service with Big C in Norwich for people with incurable secondary breast cancer.

Big C will be joining the ‘WOW’ Bus (Wellness on Wheels) in Lowestoft. 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.

Big C is reporting a sharp surge in demand for their services. Year on year* Big C has seen an overall increase of 79% in total support sessions from 4904 to 8782.

I’m Tonia, Area Manager at Big C Cancer Charity, where I’ve worked for the past decade. In August I will be celebrating this milestone by raising money for those affected by cancer in Norfolk and Suffolk, by taking on the not incidental challenge of a Firewalk!
