This week is BackCare Awareness Week 2012, a campaign set up by leading charity, and Back Pain Show Partner, BackCare.

Their aim is to raise awareness for healthier backs, with this year's campaign focussing specifically on the construction industry, which generates 30,000 new back injuries every year.

The Painful Facts
Back pain accounts of half of all chronic pain in the UK and is the leading cause of sickness absence from work. As well as this, the financial burden is enormous:

• EVERY DAY it costs the NHS £1.3 million
• EVERY DAY it costs £13 million in Disability Benefits
• EVERY DAY it costs the UK Economy £37 million

…a staggering £19 BILLION every year!

What can you do? Get involved!
Help spread the word with your own campaign pack. Packs contain the materials you need to promote ‘Awareness’ in your worksite, offer or classrooms!
