00:00Hello everyone, my name is Susie, I work for Hahav Keredigian, a Hospice at Home charity

00:11and I want to tell you about a really important event that we would like you to come along

00:15to. It's taking place on Wednesday, October 22nd between 10.30am and 3pm at Kapil Gozon

00:23in Reda Fenlin and it's a breast cancer awareness event and it's really important you can come

00:28along to this because there's going to be lots of different organisations there from

00:32Macmillan to Breast Cancer Now to Copperfield to Health Boards Cancer Support Services all

00:40brought together in one place to give you information, advice and support. You can also meet women

00:46who have been through the experience of breast cancer, those who have gone through treatment

00:50and those who are adapting to life after treatment as well. And one of the things that we're doing

00:56we're decorating the hall and as you can see from the display, our textile group have been

01:04very very busy recycling old bras and creating some amazing new designs. So we've got bras

01:12made out of maps, sweet wrappers, bumblebees and I'm happy to model the latest which I hope

01:18will catch on, the sunflower bra. Okay, but remember there is a serious message behind this.

01:24Behind every bra there is a story and we must keep raising the message about the importance

01:30of screening and early detection. It can save lives and in rural areas there's still a big

01:36health disparity. The rates, the survival rates are not as good. So come along on the 22nd,

01:42be informed, get some advice and support and meet other women as well. Thank you.
