This section provides details of all of the press and media activity that has been undertaken to promote awareness of gynaecological cancer and the work of the Venus Appeal.

The Preston and Manchester events included the mass-release of balloons with Venus Appeal tags. Other activities included partnerships with local radio stations, such as Key 103 & Magic FM in Manchester, who will conduct a street campaign across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, throughout the week.
