The roadshow will be at the following venues:

 

Tuesday 20 August 2019:  10.00am to 4.00pm,  Hexham Market Place

Wednesday 21 August 2019: 10.00am to 4.00pm, Hexham Abbey

    

What is the Cancer Awareness Roadshow?

Cancer Research UK’s Cancer Awareness Roadshow first hit the road in 2006 and was set up in partnership with Ronan Keating and the Marie Keating Foundation, who continue to support the Roadshow today.

 

The roadshow travels to different towns each week to:

  • Help visitors to take steps to reduce their risk of cancer through lifestyle changes
  • Encourage people to go to their GP with any concerns – picking cancer up at an earlier stage means treatment is more likely to be successful.
  • Promote local screening programmes
