Apart from the fund raisers aimed at specific charities, we try to help out local good causes plus children and senior citizens. Below are some of the events we fund or assist with either financially or with our time:
Important Message to Men over 40
Prostate Cancer Screening
Unlike Women, who under go automatic testing for Breast Cancel and Cervical Cancer, there are no automatic Cancer tests specifically for Men on the NHS.
When you become 40, the chances of Prostate Cancer increases.
It is recommended that men aged 40 years and over have a regular PSA test carried out.
We have been working with The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust [GFCT] to organise a Test Centre in Wellesbourne to enable Men in the area to either start regular tests or to update their test.
Unfortunatly testing through any service isn't free, but Wellesbourne & District Lions are subsidising the costs at our event to £10 for the first 60 places taken up.
Use the QR code in the poster below to take to The Graham Fulford Charitable Trust website where you can register and book your place.
