Glastonbury and Street Lions Club

The Glastonbury and Street Lions Club (CIO) has recently donated £600 to the Somerset Prostate Support Association (SPSA) and it is supporting a Prostate Testing event organised by them. 

Sponsorship for the day has been provided by The Brue Boys, a local choir established over 15 years ago in the Baltonsborough area. They organised a concert earlier in the year with sponsorship from Burns the Bread and Glastonbury Ales and it raised £2580.00 for SPSA and together with two private donations and finally the G & S Lions Club donation, £5,600 has been raised that will enable 200 men to be tested.

A spokesperson for the Lions said “The support that the SPSA has had from The Brue Boys and others is wonderful and we are delighted to be able to support this initiative from the SPSA.  Every year in the UK 40,000 men are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and early diagnosis can be crucial to successful treatment.  We will also have a stall promoting our club at the event in the main hall.”

The event will be held at Glastonbury Town Hall on Sunday 6th October and a test must be booked in advance online. Times are now very limited but by going to mypsatests.org.uk, searching for the SPSA event any availability will be visible. Unfortunately it is not possible to to be tested on the day without a prior appointment. If there are any questions regarding the test please contact Peter Hopwood on either 01458 441669 or via email peterhopwood46@gmail.com
