October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, an international health campaign that’s held every year and aims to promote screening and prevention of the disease.

The club and Trust marked the month with awareness sessions being held for staff and players alongside our friends at CoppaFeel! & West Herts Hospitals Charity 🩷
