Today marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

It's a month that means different things to different people. Hope. Progress. Strength. But also grief, anxiety and memories that can be hard to revisit.

If this month feels difficult, please know that's okay.

Whether you're living with breast cancer, adjusting to life after treatment, supporting someone you love, or remembering someone you've lost, we're here for you. Our nurses are only a phone call away, and our online forum is always open, offering support, understanding and connection whenever you need it most.

🫧 BUBBLES ON THE BEACH 2026 🫧

We will be holding our annual Bubbles on the Beach event on Sunday 4th October, bringing together families and individuals affected by pregnancy and baby loss to raise awareness and remember their precious little ones.

This is an informal event, offering a space to come together, remember our much-loved babies and raise awareness of baby loss within our community.

Our event takes place ahead of Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th–15th October), when we’ll also be sharing information, support and resources across our social media channels.

🤍 Everyone is welcome to join us.

📅 Sunday 4th October
⏰ 1pm
📍 Outside Memo’s Cafe, Aberavon Beach

People need to take action by August 23 - otherwise they could miss out.

Bonnie Tyler's coffin is draped with a Welsh flag - because of course it is! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️🤗The star made it big beyond Wales with that beautiful, soulful voice, but she never forgot where she came from. Bonnie still lived in Wales, where locals will remember her as a very down-to-earth woman. People from Mumbles and beyond have come out en masse to pay their respects as her hearse passes by, and some even broke out into song for her, singing Total Eclipse of the Heart. 🎵 People are laying flowers on the vehicle, with many continuing to follow for a while after she passes by. 🌹

With temperatures rising again this week, here's some advice on how to keep a loved one with a terminal illness cool. 💛💦
