It’s Folic Acid Awareness day on 3rd May 2017 and SHINE Cymru is keen to spread the word about the importance of women taking folic acid.
If you would like someone from SHINE Cymru to come along and talk about the work they do to your team, people you help, or attend an event, please get in touch with Helen – 07894394322.
Why? All women who might become pregnant are advised to take folic acid each day, as recommended by the NHS because it helps reduce the risk of serious birth defects of the brain and spine, called Neural Tube Defects, like spina bifida and anencephaly.
In addition to this on May 3rd SHINE will be doing a call to action for the fortification of flour. Further information about this is available via www.shinecharity.org.uk/equality/campaigns
