About volunteers/Volunteering…
In addition to fulfilling the desire to make a difference to our Hindu community, volunteering offers us an opportunity to see the world through new eyes and to better understand it. When we experience different cultures and alternate ways of living, we not only develop an appreciation and compassion for others, but learn to better understand ourselves, and ultimately grow in that understanding.
We may realise how lucky we are, and we want to give back.. There are as many reasons as to why people volunteer.
The beauty of volunteering lies in the fact that when you give, you receive so much more in return. You will:
- have compassion for others
- gain self-confidence and self esteem
- discover your strengths and talents
- develop a sense of independence
- raise your social awareness
- interact with a diverse range of people
- make life-long friends
- create challenging and fulfilling experiences that will turn into long-lasting memories
- learn social and technical skills that are transferable to any business environment
- develop interpersonal, team-building and problem-solving skills
- gain hands-on work experience

Cancer awareness
One in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime. It is estimated that over half of all cancers are potentially preventable. However, awareness of cancer and uptake of cancer screening is lower among minority ethnic communities. Added to this some minority ethnic communities are diagnosed with cancer when it is more advanced, all of which can lead to poor survival.
Cancer affects all communities and everyone should be aware of it.
It is important to raise awareness of signs and symptoms of early cancer and encourage people to seek help sooner and access appropriate cancer screening programmes, which are all important ways to pick up cancer at an early stage, when treatment is usually more effective.
Information about the National Cancer Screening Programmes
The NHS runs three cancer screening programmes for breast, cervical and bowel cancer.
Cancer screening programmes can be an effective way of detecting cancer at an early stage or preventing cancer from developing in the first place, allowing treatment to be more effective. Screening is estimated to save thousands of lives each year.
Women over the age of 70 are not sent invitations, but are encouraged to make their own screening appointments every three years by contacting the local breast screening unit on 01384 244177.
Women should receive their first invitation for screening sometime between their 50th and 53rd birthdays.
This programme is gradually being extended to include women aged 47 to 73.
Bowel Cancer Screening
Men and women aged 60-74 receive a bowel screening kit through the post every two years. The screening kit is completed at home and returned by post. People over 75 can request a screening kit by calling the helpline on 0800 707 6060.
Cervical Cancer Screening (Smear Test)
Women aged 25-49 are invited for cervical screening every three years. Women aged 50-64 are invited every five years.
Remember!
You need to be registered with a GP to receive a Cancer Screening invitation and if you have changed your address ensure that your GP has your up to date address.
More information about NHS cancer screening programmes is available at www.cancerscreening.org.uk
Spot the early signs of Cancer
Get to know your own body and what is normal for you. This will help you notice any unusual changes. Report any abnormal changes which persist for more than 4 weeks to your GP without delay.
Remember! If you notice something abnormal it doesn’t mean it’s cancer, it could be caused by other conditions/illnesses other than cancer. But the key is to get it checked out.
You can reduce your risk of developing cancer by looking after yourself.
- Eating a healthy, well balanced diet
- Being physically active
- Not smoking
- Drinking sensibly
- Staying safe in the sun
- Maintaining a healthy weight

Cancer Beat Project
Shree Gujarati Hindu Centre for Asian Elderly has been awarded a small community grant funded by the Office of Public Health’s, Community Health Improvement Programme to develop a cancer awareness project to raise awareness of breast, bowel and prostate cancer amongst their community. This should help empower individuals to take up screening and be aware of the early cancer signs and symptoms.
The project will involve running four cancer awareness workshops, which will be held on the following dates:
Tuesday 13th, 20th & 27th May and 3rd June, 10:30am – 12:00pm at the Shree Gayatri Hindu Centre.
Open to men and women aged 40+ the workshops will be combined with a gardening/yoga activity for the members to take part in, followed by a lunch a light-hearted way of talking about a sensitive subject.
Why not come along to the workshops, places are limited so book early. To book a place contact Mr Joshi on……………………………………………..
Getting information about cancer out to people is one of the best ways to raise awareness of cancer!
After completion of the workshops the members who took part will then visit the Gayatri Temple in Leicester to spread the cancer awareness messages with others in their communities.
We can all do our bit to raise awareness of cancer prevention
If you want to run an information or education event for your community or would like to find out how you can pass on simple awareness message to friends and family then please contact.
