She said: “Action Cancer ‘Big Bus’ has become a well known and valuable health resource for  men and women throughout Derry, delivering life saving services right to the doorstep.

“As well as breast screening for women plus health promotion and MOT health checks for men and women, it provides a full body composition analysis and offers health awareness  and weight loss guidance. 

“Staff provide advice and information on complementary therapies and support services such as counselling and support groups for cancer patients , carers and families affected by cancer.

“This mobile clinic saves lives and I would encourage those who may be worried about their health to avail of this service.”

Cllr Dobbins also encouraged people across the city to donate to Action Cancer stores. 

She added: “Proceeds from these stores help provide the services on the ‘Big Bus’.”
