Movember and Men's Mental Health Awareness Month 2024
For November, Bevan Library has a display to support awareness of men's health issues, and promote Movember.
Movember is a yearly event which involves the growing of moustaches. People are encouraged to grow a moustache for the whole month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
Black History Month 2024
October is Black History Month, Bevan Library displayed information about Black History month - and also promoted information about Sickle Cell.
Sickle Cell is an inherited condition. People with Sickle Cell disease do not make haemoglobin properly; their red blood cells are rigid and shaped like a crescent or sickle because the haemoglobin inside them clumps together. In the UK, is most commonly seen in people of African and Caribbean backgrounds.
