Workplaces and individuals are marking "Get Lippy" Day on Friday - a day to raise awareness of gynaecological cancers. UK charity the Eve Appeal asks people to get loud and talk about gynae health. The aim is to start conversations about what is often considered an 'awkward' thing to talk about. Francesca Makey has campaigned to 'Get Lippy' for years now, following her own experience of being diagnosed with cancer at the age of 17. We spoke to her as well as Eloise Leto, a fellow survivor, and Dr. Olivia Gonzalez from the Women’s Health Clinic.Today marks the start of Mental Health Awareness week. The theme this year is "Community". For Childline, it’s an opportunity for the charity to raise awareness of children’s mental health. Jenny Olivero and Caroline Carter explained that young people often use their services for support for bullying, family issues or mental health concerns.It’ll be a busy week for Clubhouse Gibraltar also, as they have organised a number of workshops to help people understand good mental health. We spoke to Gianna Da Costa, a staff member at Clubhouse Gibraltar, alongside Brandon Ainsworth and Veena Purswani, both service users of the charity.There’s a new look for gbc.gi.
