1. Support BE LOUD! Week by organising awareness-raising activities in the local community - engage the local hospital or other groups such as local sports clubs, social clubs, church groups, Women's Institute…the list is endless!

2. Set up a stand at one of these groups, or on your local high street or community centre (ask permission first!), hand out leaflets about bowel cancer and encourage people to donate to the cause.

3. Organise and sell tickets to a BE LOUD! coffee morning, tea party, sophisticated dinner party, afternoon sing-a-long, or crazy party - just make sure guests attend wearing something in the spirit of BE LOUD!

4. Talk to your local sports or leisure centre and see if they can help you organise a sponsored walk, run or bike ride - musical accompaniments optional!

5. Hold a BE LOUD! event at the local hospital, with all the doctors and nurses sporting Loud ties, hats or accessories and handing out bowel cancer information leaflets to help raise awareness and funds.
