Dozens of people are seated in a large room watching a public health volunteer deliver a talk about breast cancer.

Public health talks

Our public health talks share information on early detection and prevention of breast cancer, and they're completely free to book. If you want to raise awareness in your local community or network, you can book a talk with us,

What does a public health talk cover?

Our trained public health volunteers cover important information about breast cancer, including the following:

  1. Breast cancer facts and figures
  2. Breast awareness and the importance of early detection
  3. NHS breast screening programme
  4. Signs and symptoms of breast cancer
  5. Causes of breast cancer and how you can help reduce your risk
  6. Myths and misconceptions

Our free talks last between 30 to 40 minutes and we encourage time for questions afterwards.


How are our public health talks delivered?

Our talks can be delivered online or in person, to private, public and voluntary organisations, such as workplaces, local community and religious groups, healthcare settings, and universities.

We understand the barriers that some communities face in accessing healthcare and awareness information. If your audience has additional needs, we can help make your talk as inclusive as possible.

Frequently asked questions

  • Who can I book at talk for?

    Our public health talks are aimed at all adults over the age of 18. We ask that a minimum of 15 people attend.

    We welcome talk requests from global organisations, as long as they have a UK audience who will also attend. This is because our talks cover information and messaging on breast cancer awareness and NHS breast screening services, based on UK data and public health messaging. 

  • Can I book a face-to-face talk?

    We offer our public health talks online and in person depending on the location. If we’re unable to give a face-to-face talk, we’ll offer an online talk as an alternative and share key resources around breast cancer awareness.

  • How are your talks inclusive?

    Our speakers can work with your translator to give talks in other languages. Our supporting health information is also available in a range of skin tones and languages. All public health volunteers have training and appreciation for health inequalities.

    But if you’d prefer a speaker from a shared background, we’ll do our best to make this happen. Please add any requests to your booking form and we’ll be in touch.
