Proud to see so many are talking about @TargetOvarian’s latest research today, showing there’s still a worrying lack of awareness of ovarian cancer symptoms – please join us in calling for action
🚨 Do enough of us know the symptoms? We investigate. 🚨 It’s nearly #OvarianCancerAwarenessMonth, & we’ve been investigating how aware the UK is of the disease and it's symptoms. Our brand new data shows there’s been progress, but things aren’t moving fast enough. [1/9]

Thousands of you have told us that unclear labelling in restaurants and supermarkets is making managing diabetes tougher than it needs to be. So let’s tell the government that it’s time for #FoodUpfront. Sign the petition now. https://t.co/pVRwvR9578
