The Progressive Labour Party Women’s Caucus organised a health‑education forum in Hamilton’s St. George’s School auditorium on Thursday, drawing a crowd of local residents, healthcare professionals and party members. The event, aimed at raising awareness of breast‑cancer screening and early detection, featured talks by Dr. Lisa Grant, an oncologist from the Royal Bermuda Hospital, and a panel of community leaders.

In addition to the educational component, the caucus used the gathering as a fundraising platform for the PLP’s Women’s Health Initiative. Booths set up by the party’s local chapters sold commemorative pins and provided information on free mammogram appointments available at the hospital’s screening centre.

Party spokesperson Ms. Marigold Clarke highlighted the caucus’s commitment to grassroots outreach, noting that the evening’s modest decor and informal format encouraged candid conversations about women’s health issues that are often overlooked in Bermuda’s public discourse.

The forum underscores the PLP’s long‑standing focus on community‑based action, and organisers plan to repeat the event in other parishes next month to broaden participation across the island.
