Speaking out about men’s health for Armed Forces Day

Thanks to everyone who came to see us and our wonderful volunteers at Armed Forces Day on Plymouth Hoe.

We spent the day talking to hard working service personnel and members of the public about men’s cancer, helping to spread awareness and offer support.

Being out and about like this, spreading awareness throughout South West communities, is a key part of our work fighting prostate, penile and testicular cancer – and supporting the huge number of men living with these diseases.

A big thank you in particular to David, Adrian, Robert, Perry and Andrew who volunteered to spend the day with us, chatting to people and sharing their experiences.

Volunteering at an event with us is a sociable, enjoyable way to help us as a charity. If you’d like to be added to our team of volunteer heroes, and be kept in mind for future events like this, send your details over to tabitha.breare@nhs.net.

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.
