Big thanks to Jayne and her very special team at The Village Cafe - East Coker who have let us add some free men’s sanitary products in the loos there.

If you’ve never been to the cafe, go and check out this gem of a social hub serving the very best coffee, breakfast and lunch in Somerset ☕️

They will no doubt talk a lot about cake but hey, that’s not a bad thing, is it? 🍰💜😉

The grade of your cancer tells your doctor how abnormal the cancer cells look under a microscope.

The stage of your cancer describes:

- The size of the cancer

- How far it has spread from the prostate.

Staging and grading your cancer will help your doctor to decide on the best treatment options for you. To learn more, visit the infopool: theinfopool.co.uk/grading-and-staging-prostate-cancer

Sir Chris Hoy’s openness about his prostate cancer diagnosis continues to make a real difference.
