💙 HELPING BURNLEY MEN TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR PROSTATE HEALTH 💙
Charter Walk is supporting an important cause this September!
This is a cause that is close to all our hearts at Charter Walk. Over the years, team members and their families have been affected by prostate cancer, and we are so proud of those who have come through the other end.
This is why Charter Walk Shopping Centre are working in collaboration with The Mayoress’s Committee, and the East Lancs Prostate Cancer Support Group, to help make prostate health testing accessible to men across Burnley and East Lancashire.
The initiative is part of the Mayor of Burnley’s chosen charity project for his civic year.
The Mayoress’s Committee has worked hard to raise funds by establishing and running a pop-up shop in Howe Walk, filled with generously donated clothes, bric-a-brac, books and other items. The shop has been staffed by volunteers throughout the venture, with the proceeds enabling the funding of 100 heavily subsidised prostate health tests.
And what's more, Charter Walk is proud to be supporting this initiative by funding an additional 100 tests - bringing the total to 200 spaces! 🙌✨
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men during their lifetime, making early detection incredibly important! This is something that is not often offered at the doctors, which is why this initiative is so valuable.
💙 The test costs £26 but participants pay just £5, thanks to the £21 subsidy provided through this fundraising initiative and Charter Walk’s support.
This is a simple blood test available to men aged 40 and over — there is no physical or internal examination. Each participant will receive their result by email or letter.
