The Pink Caravan is Coming to Banks Peninsula!

Talia from Pink Caravan Education & Awareness - Canterbury

Each year our breast health nurses travel around New Zealand in our iconic Pink Caravan, to talk about mammograms, offer advice about checking your breasts, healthy lifestyles and family risk.

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options. The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most haven’t seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like.

Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you so pop in and say hi. We’ll be at the locations below on the following dates:

Monday, 20 March 2023
SuperValue Lyttelton
17 London Street, Lyttelton 8082

Tuesday, 21 March 2023
Four Square Diamond Harbour (in the morning)
143 Marine Drive, Diamond Harbour 8971

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
