16/07/2026

Last week MS Mondays were delighted to welcome the Stoke on Trent Lord Mayor Councillor Joan Bell and her husband Consort Dennis Bell . Over the last few weeks MS Mondays have held various fund raising events in support of the Lord Mayor's excellent charity - Dementia Care in Stoke. Joan and Dennis have been volunteers at MS Mondays for a long time and it is wonderful for the group to now be able to support them. Thank you both for everything we are all so proud of you.

Please consider following this link to nominate MS Mondays - a wonderful support group based in Stoke-on-Trent who support people affected by multiple sclerosis. If we were chosen £5000 would make an enormous difference to this group

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month - a time to learn, support, and advocate for everyone affected 💖

Breast cancer doesn’t just affect women. Men can get it too. It can also impact transgender people, who may face extra barriers to awareness, diagnosis, and care.

Here’s what to keep in mind:
🩺 Know the signs in everyone - lumps, changes in shape, ni**le changes, skin dimpling
🔍 Men, don’t ignore changes in your chest or ni**le - although less common, breast cancer can still occur in men
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans and nonbinary people: your risks and body may change with hormone therapy or surgeries - always feel empowered to ask for care and checkups

📚 Learn more and find inclusive support:

Let’s make awareness inclusive, supportive, and life-saving 💪

Early detection and better treatments have led to improved recovery and survival from breast cancer.

If you are a woman, aged 50 or over, you'll be invited for breast screening every three years, until your 71st birthday.

If you think you should have breast screening, but you haven't been automatically invited by the time you are 53, do contact your local breast screening service.

Even those amongst us who have already developed breast cancer, it is still important to check as a different unrelated type can develop in the remaining breast.
