How confident are you about checking your breasts for signs of breast cancer? Almost a third (29%) of women in England who regularly check their breasts, don’t feel confident to notice a change.

So together, we’re making sure more women get the information they need to spot the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and know where to go if they notice something unusual.

And if you want to get into the habit of checking your breasts, it’s as simple as TLC:

- Touch your breasts or chest
- Look for changes
- Check anything new or unusual with your GP

Your body starts healing the day you quit smoking. 💪⏰

It's not too late to join the thousands of people in Derby who are quitting for Stoptober! If you stop smoking for the 28 days of Stoptober, you’re five times more likely to quit for good.

🍂🚭 Stoptober Quit Tips – You’ve Got This! 🚭🍂

Set a clear quit date 📅
Commit to your Stoptober start date and mark it on your calendar. Treat it like an important appointment with yourself.

Know your reasons for quitting ✍️
Write down your top reasons – health, family, money, energy – and keep them where you can see them when cravings hit.

Use Livewell's FREE support and stop smoking aids 💊
Ni****ne replacement therapy (NRT), vapes and stop smoking medicines can double your chances of quitting. Use them as advised for the best results.

Plan for trigger moments 🧠
Think about when you usually smoke – after meals, with a drink, when stressed – and plan healthy alternatives (a short walk, deep breaths, a glass of water, sugar-free gum).

Change your routine 🔄
Small changes (like taking a different route to work or swapping your usual break time habits) can help break the link with smoking.

Lean on your support network 🤝
Tell friends and family you are quitting and how they can help – encouragement, distraction, or just checking in.

Celebrate every smoke-free day 🎉
Notice the benefits – breathing easier, better taste and smell, more energy, saving money – and reward yourself with something positive.

Don’t give up if you slip 🌱
A slip does not mean failure. Learn from what happened, reset and keep going. Every attempt is a step closer to quitting for good.
