I hope the work of Bowel Cancer UK means that for more people that thought will become a reality.</span></span></p>

We would like to recruit and train 160 new volunteers in 2012, the majority of whom would have direct experience of bowel cancer and are liikely to be the best placed people to promote early detection by delivering workshops and talks to our main target groups.</span></span></p>
