About this event
Calling all bingo fans!
It’s time you get your legs eleven down to Hounslow House for a seriously good time with a special health message.
On Friday, 3 November, the borough’s civic HQ is going glitz by hosting a bingo session aimed at raising awareness about breast cancer.
The session, entitled Boobs and Bingo, is aimed specifically at women in Hounslow with learning disabilities and their carers.
It will cover all aspects of breast care, the signs to look out for, information about breast screening programmes and who you can speak to if you have concerns.
Nationally, there is evidence that women with learning difficulties are not well-informed about breast cancers and the uptake of breast screening is low.
Boobs and Bingo has been designed exclusively with women in mind to ensure they have a safe space to talk freely with health professionals and breast care staff who will be on hand.
By mixing the health messages with some good old-fashioned fun, it is hoped that visitors will be able to take advantage of all the preventative measures, such as accessible breast screening, that are on offer.
