A Cornish venue is transforming into a ‘Chestnut Pub’ this November.
The Halfway House in Polbathic will proudly host a whole month of fundraising for The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health. Fantastic fundraisers such as this allow us to continue our work supporting prostate, penile and testicular cancer patients across Devon and Cornwall.
Landlord Lloyd Halliday has set himself a £1,600 fundraising target. He’ll be taking on a series of challenges throughout the month to hit that, and he’s even promised to shave his head if the target is reached.
Throughout November, there’ll also be a ‘Prostate Corner’ set up in the pub, offering vital information and advice about men’s cancers. The aim is to empower local men with information about their health.
Mr Halliday said: “[Men’s health] is an important subject…as a community focused business I felt we were perfectly placed to raise awareness not just for our locals, but also the surrounding areas.
“The fundraising idea started, as many things do in the pub, as a throw away comment over a drink with the locals. This snowballed and here we are £1600 away from me shaving my head!
“Every pint, pound and post shared will help raise awareness about men’s health.”
If you’d like to help this local venue raise money to save lives, pop into the Halfway House at Polbathic or head to their online fundraising page at: https://www.givengain.com/campaign/the-halfway-house-fundraiser
If you or someone you know is affected by prostate, testicular or penile cancer, our free patient and family support groups across Devon and Cornwall offer a space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through.
