Aldi and Irish Cancer Society join forces for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
Aldi to drive bowel cancer awareness with information on all their branded packs of toilet tissue and wipes
Print7 April 2025
Aldi Ireland and the Irish Cancer Society are once again joining forces for Bowel Cancer Awareness Month this April.
All Aldi’s own-brand toilet tissue and toilet wipes will carry information about bowel cancer to drive awareness of the disease among customers.
“By outlining the key warning signs of bowel cancer on our packaging, we hope to reach as many people as possible and make a tangible impact in driving awareness of this disease,” Rachel Nugent, national sustainability manager at Aldi Ireland, said.
Early detection importance
According to the latest data (2017-2021) from the National Cancer Registry Ireland, there are an average of 2,678 bowel cancer diagnoses in Ireland each year.
“Bowel cancer is treatable, especially if diagnosed early. Symptoms of bowel cancer include persistent changes in your bowel habits, blood in your poo, unexplained weight loss, pain in your stomach,” Kevin O’Hagan, cancer prevention manager at Irish Cancer Society, said.
He added: “Early detection can save lives, so visit your GP if you have any worries or concerns and for those in the age bracket, please take part in BowelScreen when possible.”
The partnership between Aldi and the Irish Cancer Society aims to raise awareness about bowel cancer, promote early detection, and support those affected by the disease.
‘Valuable information’
To successfully achieve that a number of actions will be taken throughout April.
The Irish Cancer Society will host an information stand at the Aldi Terenure store on 8 April.
This stand will provide valuable information on bowel cancer symptoms, screening, and prevention for Aldi customers.
Aldi customers can make donations to support bowel cancer awareness and research. Donations can be made to the Irish Cancer Society via QR codes displayed in-store or by visiting the Irish Cancer Society website by clicking here.
