A change in the colour of the breast – the breast may look darker, red or inflamed
A ni**le change, for example it has become pulled in (inverted)
Rash or crusting around the ni**le
Unusual liquid (discharge) from either ni**le
Changes in size or shape of the breast

This year's theme “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change”, reminds us that conversations about mental health can make a huge difference. When we listen to people's experiences we build understanding, reduce stigma and help create positive change.

Sometimes the best conversations happen side by side. Joining a local health walk is a simple way to get moving, enjoy the outdoors, connect with others and support your wellbeing.

Why not take a step towards better mental health today and discover the range of Active Blaby Health Walks available across Blaby, Oadby and Wigston.
