The Glastonbury and Street Lions Club Presentation

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

Sponsorship for the day was 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 which 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.”

The SPSA holds events throughout the year and anyone interested should go for more information to mypsatests.org.uk as tests must be booked in advance online. Unfortunately it is not possible to to be tested without a prior appointment. If there are any questions regarding either SPSA or a test please contact Peter Hopwood on either 01458 441669 or via email peterhopwood46@gmail.com
