95% of ex-smokers see positive changes in their life as early as 2 weeks after quitting - so just imagine how good it would be after 4!

Halfway there 🙌 If you need our support, reach out to your local stop smoking service: www.nhs.uk/service-sear...

In partnership with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Centre, we explored this year’s Black History Month theme, Standing Firm in Power and Pride, through the lens of Black LGBTQ+ history, HIV awareness, and community activism.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!
