- Learn about breast awareness: The NHS recommends that everyone with breasts know what is normal for them so they can report any unusual changes to a GP promptly. See the NHS breast cancer symptoms page for guidance on what to look for.
- Share breast health information: Share resources from reputable organisations on social media and within your community.
- Wear pink: Show solidarity by wearing pink clothing or accessories, the colour widely associated with breast cancer awareness.
