Gynaecological cancer charity, The Eve Appeal, and CEW, the most influential organisation within the British Beauty Industry and retail partner Tesco are uniting all through this month to support the fourth Get Lippy campaign. The campaign helps to help raise awareness of the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal – and break the taboos by encouraging people to talk about gynaecological heath.
This national consumer-facing campaign encourages a range of beauty brands to donate 10% from participating products sold in May to support the Get Lippy initiative. The donations will focus on helping fund life-saving research into the prevention and earlier diagnosis of the five gynae cancers, awareness-raising of their symptoms. They will also fund the invaluable nurse-led service Ask Eve – a specialist service providing information and guidance to all who are concerned about the signs, symptoms and risk factors associated with gynae cancers.
On a usual non-pandemic day, 58 women are diagnosed with one of the gynaecological cancers. Due to the global pandemic, many of these women will suffer the consequences of late diagnosis because they delay seeking medical advice on their symptoms, and many families are concerned about changes to treatment plans for loved ones affected by a gynae cancer diagnosis. Ask Eve provides a vital service in supporting women in need
“
Each year, CEW supports Get Lippy, and together we are working towards a future where fewer women develop, and more women survive these cancers. We want to encourage all our health, beauty, and lifestyle members and friends to show their support and get involved in this campaign. Let’s Get Lippy together.
”
Caroline Neville MBE, President of CEW and Patron of Get Lippy
Throughout May, a series of activations and virtual events will inspire women and men across the UK to speak openly about gynaecological health, and help raise the much-needed funds for ongoing research and support.
