Bowel Screening

Bowel cancer is a major public health problem in Scotland. It is the third most common cancer in Scotland. The Scottish bowel screening programme invites men and women aged between 50 and 74 to take part in screening every 2 years.
Bowel screening aims to find cancer at an early stage when treatment is likely to be more effective. Bowel screening is the only screening program  where the test is completed at home. Bowel screening uptake is lowest in men and in the most deprived areas. – screening uptake is lowest in 50 – 54 year olds.  The new simpler bowel screening test is much easier to do. Figures on Bute suggest that only 43% of men invited return the test.
If you have misplaced your kit you can get a replacement one by calling Free Scottish Bowel Screening Centre helpline on 0800 0121 833

John Paul Retreats

John Paul Retreats is a newly created charity set up to help parents and siblings who are trying to cope with the loss of loved ones, either through death or other unforseen tragedy. The charity was founded by Anthony McMahon, who lost his brother, John Paul, to a car accident in 1984. Anthony’s parent’s suffered greatly over the loss of John Paul and they also passed away in their early fifties. Since then, Anthony has endeavoured to establish a place where people, who experience similar trauma, can meet together and begin to come to terms with loss. There is no cost involved when you visit John Paul Retreats but small donations can be made on the donation page to maintain the running of the retreat home.
