Please sign this extremely important petition. Early detection saves lives.

We are calling on the Government to reassess the UK National Screening Committee’s (UK NSC) draft recommendation not to offer prostate cancer screening to anyone except men with BRCA1/2 genetic variants, and to introduce screening for all high-risk men.

New research from the World Cancer Research Fund shows that simple, healthy habits — like staying active, eating well and maintaining a healthy weight — may help improve long‑term health after a cancer diagnosis.

It’s encouraging evidence that small, achievable changes can make a real difference for people living with and beyond cancer.

We’re excited to be at the Ash Parish Council Village Fete this Saturday, 12–4pm at Ash Recreation Ground. If you’re coming along, please pop by our stall — we’d love to see you and share more about the support we offer for anyone affected by cancer. And if you want to have a go on our Tombola stall - that would be even better!

A big thank you to Big Yellow Self Storage , Guildford, whose generous support helps us store our banners, buckets, gazebo and all the kit that allows us to take part in brilliant community events like this. Their help makes a real difference to a small charity like ours.



Looking forward to a fun afternoon with our local community.

📍 18th July - Old Coal Yard Summer Fair, Hambledon
📍 25th–26th July - Ripley Classic Tractor & Agricultural Machinery Show

• A man aged 50–70
• A Black man aged 45+
• A man aged 45–70 with a family history of prostate cancer, or a mother diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer

Black men are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer and are more likely to be diagnosed at a younger age, which is why we particularly encourage eligible Black men to get tested.
There's no need to book, but you MUST bring your NHS number with you.
Early prostate cancer is often symptomless. If you're eligible, please come and see us for a simple blood test and a chat about prostate health.

A recent survey by Carers UK found that 60% of carers said feeling valued in their caring role would improve their wellbeing.

At The Fountain Centre, we recognise the vital role carers play and are committed to supporting them throughout their loved one's diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. Whether it's a listening ear, practical support, or a moment to focus on their own wellbeing, we're here for carers every step of the way.

We recently took delivery of a rather snazzy new recliner chair and footstool for our hypnotherapy room. We want to say a huge THANK YOU to Furniture Village for giving us a very much appreciated discount on the purchase.

Small gestures like this go such a long way in making our funds go further and in turn extending the support we can offer.
