It’s a fantastic annual opportunity to educate your business, organisation or community group about the disease by joining us for a free virtual awareness talk.

Delivered by a volunteer with a personal connection to bowel cancer, you’ll learn about the most common symptoms of bowel cancer, the risk factors associated with the disease and the importance of the NHS bowel screening programme.

In this free one hour session, we'll take you through your trustee duties in a clear and engaging way. There will be a chance to ask questions and we'll signpost you to further support. This session is also suitable as a refresher for existing trustees.

More and more people are becoming aware of their personal data and how it’s being used. Charities and community groups that want to be trusted must get it right - and we are here to help.

Join us online via Zoom to develop your understanding of Data Protection with Leanne Meredith, Lead Policy Officer at the Information Commissioner’s Office. 

This session is an opportunity to develop your understanding of Data Protection and help identify steps that your organisation may need to take to ensure they are handling people’s data correctly and complying with the law.

As part of the session, the ICO will provide access to tools and resources to help you take simple steps towards improving your data compliance.

This training is provided with the support of BAVO (Bridgend Association of Voluntary Organisations), VAMT (Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil) and Interlink RCT.
