When health risks emerge, information saves lives, yet most people feel they’re not getting enough of it.

People recognise domestic abuse as a serious and widespread issue but the detail tells a deeper story. Many still struggle to identify the full spectrum of abuse, especially non-physical behaviours like control, monitoring and emotional harm. At the same time, uncertainty around where to turn, combined with low confidence in protection from authorities, creates barriers to action. Awareness is there but understanding, confidence and trust still need to catch up.

Most respondents believe domestic abuse is mainly experienced by women, with far fewer recognising its impact on men and children. imabi’s latest insight highlights the need for more inclusive awareness and support for all victims.

When asked about Breast Cancer Awareness, half of respondents say they perform regular breast self-checks, yet many still feel uneasy talking about breast health. imabi’s insight reveals that stigma, fear, and lack of inclusive awareness continue to limit open conversations, especially among men and younger people.

Only 1 in 4 respondents told imabi they regularly check themselves for signs of breast cancer meaning 75% are not performing routine self-examinations.

Survey explored how people across the UK view the importance and impact of Black History Month. The results reveal a split in opinion - while many see it as important, an equal number feel it’s losing relevance or visibility. Respondents said the media and public campaigns have the greatest influence, but local community recognition remains low, with most saying their area doesn’t mark it well.

Most have never attended a Black History Month event, showing a gap between awareness and active participation.

Comments from participants called for more inclusive, year-round engagement, stronger community involvement, and initiatives that bring everyone into the conversation - not just those already connected to the cause.
