Big Bus coming to Loughgiel and Ballymoney

Leading local cancer charity Action Cancer is bringing its SuperValu Big Bus mobile unit to the area with two visits next month as part of its ongoing tour of Northern Ireland.

The Bus will be hosted by the Loughgiel Community Association for its visit to the Millennium Centre, Lough Road, on Monday 19th October and SuperValu Ballymoney when it visits the store on the Ballymena Road on Thursday 22nd October. Services provided on the Big Bus, which is fully accessible include digital breast screening for women aged between 40 and 49 and over 70, health promotion and MOT health checks for men and women. A full body composition analysis using the latest technology provides clients with information on their height, weight, body mass index and more, and also offers health awareness and weight loss guidance.

Anyone interested in making an appointment for the Big Bus when it is in the area should telephone Action Cancer in advance on 028 9080 3344. Alternatively, you can book online by going to www.actioncancer.org, and follow the ‘online booking’ link on the home page. Appointments will be available from 10.00am to 3.00pm each day. Bookings are taken on a first come first served basis as there are a limited number of appointments.
