SAVE THE DATE⚽📅

Our network team will be attending the Winstanley Walkers walking football session next Thursday evening (26th) to raise awareness about prostate health.

💙 They'll be sharing helpful resources from Prostate Cancer UK, including information on:
• Risk factors • Testing options • Other prostate-related conditions

💻 They also have a laptop available to support anyone who would like to complete the Prostate Cancer UK risk checker. This quick tool looks at factors such as family history to help you understand your personal risk.

This session is a great opportunity to reach those most at risk, as walking football groups often include men (or anyone with a prostate) over the age of 50.

If you’re attending, come and have a chat —taking a few minutes to learn more could make a real difference. 💙
