Media Press Pack: Journalists - click here
Close If you are a journalist, you can help us to raise awareness of bowel cancer through features and articles in magazines and newspapers, or covering the important issues on TV or radio shows.
We can help you by providing you with facts and figures about bowel cancer, and also putting you in touch with members of our 'Patient Voices' group - men and women, of all ages, who have suffered with bowel cancer and are happy to share their experiences to help us increase the profile of this disease.

We can also put you in touch with one of our expert bowel cancer medical advisors if you require a quote or comment.
Thank you for helping us give bowel cancer the attention it deserves and putting bottoms firmly on the map!
