Become a Talk TLC Champion in Scotland

Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes, taking the initiative and visiting their doctor. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chance of beating it – so you can see how important it is to make regular checks.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer has long recognised the need to raise awareness and to encourage women to attend breast screening appointments, in order to help drive early diagnosis.

• TOUCH your breasts. Can you feel anything unusual?
• LOOK for changes. Is there any change in shape or texture?
• CHECK anything unusual with your doctor

One way to get health information is through word of mouth. To help us spread the word about the importance of being breast aware we need our supporters to ‘Talk TLC’ in their local area.

As a Talk TLC Champion you’ll be talking TLC:

• Informally to friends and family; and
• By speaking to local people about breast awareness.

The role of a Talk TLC Champion is designed to be flexible so you can organise events that fit in with your life and interests. This isn’t outreach work – we won’t be asking you to give advice, training or support. Talking TLC is simply about giving people the information they need and spreading the breast awareness message.

You will be given a full day’s training to empower you with all the information you need for this role. We will support you every step of the way.
