This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we will be turning the Daily Waffle a little pink to help raise awareness. We will still have our various articles on fashion, food, technology, sport etc but this will be mixed in with some important writings from our team. There will be some personal stories and we will also go through what you need to look for when you are doing your regular checks.
You will also notice that shops on the high street have gone pink to raise awareness too.
