Implementation:
The event, held at a local Café , featured informative presentations by Stockport council on recognizing early signs of cancer and dispelling misconceptions about its causes. Attendees were encouraged to ask questions and engage in discussions to enhance their understanding.
Stockport Council played a pivotal role by providing essential informational leaflets and logistical support, ensuring the event ran smoothly and effectively.
Results:
The event drew a diverse audience from the community, including individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Participants left with a clearer understanding of cancer symptoms and risk factors, as well as a sense of empowerment to take proactive steps towards their health.
Feedback from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude for the opportunity to learn and ask questions in a supportive environment.
Next Steps:
Building on the success of this event, we are committed to continuing our efforts to raise awareness and promote community health. Keep an eye out for our upcoming awareness events, where we will delve into other important health topics and empower our community with knowledge and resources.
Conclusion:
