🌼 Chill & Chat Groups – March Update! 🌼

We’ve got a busy month ahead, with all 14 of our Chill & Chat groups running throughout March and we’re excited to share our new collaboration group in Crewkerne.

You can always find the most up‑to‑date information on our website, but here’s a quick look at what’s happening…

If you’re a parent or carer of a child or young person with additional needs or disabilities (0–25 years), you’re warmly invited to join us for a cuppa, a friendly chat, and some connection. No diagnosis is needed. Everyone is welcome

And your first warm or soft drink is on us! ☕

You don’t need to have attended anything with us before, and there’s no need to register, just come along when you’re ready.

We know that going somewhere new can feel daunting, so if you’d like a bit of support before attending, please let us know. We’re always happy to help.

We look forward to welcoming you at group this March 🙂

🚹 ARE YOU A MAN AGED 40 OR OVER? 🚹

Yeovil Lions Club, in partnership with Somerset Prostate Support Association (SPSA), is hosting a FREE PSA Testing Event on:

📅 Saturday 18th April 2026
⏰ 10am – 4pm
📍 Yeovil Town Football Club

✅ Quick blood test
✅ Appointment only
✅ Potentially life-saving

At our last event in March 2025, 265 men were tested.
🔹 233 had normal PSA levels
🟡 13 had elevated levels
🔴 19 had abnormal levels and were referred for further investigation

One of those men was a local Lion with no symptoms at all. Early diagnosis made all the difference.

💙 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer. Early detection saves lives.

👨 Men aged 40+
Don’t put it off. Even if you feel fit and well. Book your free test today:
👉 mypsatests.org.uk/Events
(or scan the QR code on the poster)

👩 Women, partners, family & friends
Please tag, share, and send this to the men in your life — husbands, partners, dads, brothers, friends, colleagues.
If they’re over 40, this is for them.

Sometimes men won’t book it for themselves — but they will if someone they care about nudges them. 💙

⚠️ Strictly by appointment only.
Although the test is free, donations to SPSA are gratefully received at the event.

Let’s fill every appointment slot and help save lives in our community.
