Prostate Cancer Awareness Week
Prostate Cancer Awareness Week (19- 25 March) was a great success. Thanks to all who used our Awareness Week packs and held awareness or fundraising events. One example was a Men's Health Day held at Newcastle General Hospital, where their information stalls and fundraising went a huge way to raising awareness. Another example was where Burton Joyce and Bulcote Women's Institute in Nottinghamshire held a successful luncheon which raised £300.
Here at the office we held a cake bake and had a swearing box, which raised almost £200. Our local paper also helped by distributing 75,000 mobile phone recycling envelopes (more are still available from the office). The Prostate Cancer Charter for Action (PCCA), which is a coalition of all the prostate charities, mounted a display of our materials in Parliament and attracted over 600 visitors.
Please remember that your fundraising and awareness doesn't need to be restricted to just the Awareness Week, you can hold an event any time throughout the year. For further information please contact the fundraising team on 020 8877 5845.
