Cervical Screening Awareness Week – 13th to 19th June 2016: Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust
 
To: All Branches
 
Dear Colleagues,
Following Motion 38 carried at the Union’s 2009 Conference, correspondence and meetings took place with ‘Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust’ which established a working relationship in providing support and assistance in raising awareness and providing better, easily accessed information for CWU members and their families, and at the same time supporting ‘Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust’ campaigning objectives. Cervical Screening Awareness Week (CSAW) is a national campaign led by Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust.
Jo’s Cervical Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to women and their families affected by cervical cancer and cervical abnormalities. Their aim is to offer information, support and friendship to women of all ages, to help them to understand the importance of cervical screening, and to provide their own personal brand of support if their screening shows up abnormalities or if they are diagnosed with cancer.
Cervical Screening – Why is it important?
Cervical screening prevents 75% of cervical cancers from developing in the UK yet one in four women do not attend cervical screening when invited. Not going for cervical screening is one of the biggest risk factors for developing cervical cancer.
