October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and staff and students are encouraged to take part in the planned activity, wear pink and consider donating a bra to the Bra Bank on campus.
The events have been organised to help raise awareness of the importance of checking yourself.
Throughout October, information and resources from Breast Cancer Now and Coppafeel will be shared via the University social media channels. Feel free to join in and share these with your networks.
If you would like to share your stories and experiences related to breast cancer, please contact the Corporate Communications team communications@leedstrinity.ac.uk??

A message from Sarah Todd
A huge thank you to every one of you who has supported the Breast Cancer Awareness campaign on campus this month.
Thanks to your support we have
Tomorrow is the last Wednesday of the campaign, so please wear something pink if you're on campus and the prayer tree is still available (and will be lit up pink) outside the Chapel.
*If anyone didn't get chance to grab any of the Coppafeel resources from me please drop me a message, there are still plenty available.
Thank you again for your support.
