Did you know every 45 minutes a father, brother or son dies of prostrate cancer in the UK. At South West Hygiene, we believe it’s essential to encourage more men to talk about their health and seek help if something seems wrong. That’s why we’re pleased to announce our partnership with The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health, aiming to help prevent unnecessary deaths from cancer among men.
Working across Devon and Cornwall for over 25 years, The Chestnut Appeal have been supporting the fight against men’s cancer – prostrate, penile and testicular, while helping those in need.
To support this vital charity, at South West Hygiene we are adding The Chestnut Appeal stickers to all our male hygiene bins spread throughout Devon and Cornwall that contain a very simple message: Don’t wait; listen to your body & take action! We’ve also added a QR code that links to The Chestnut Appeal guide on the most common cancer in men, Prostrate Cancer.
Nicholas Hunt, Head of Sales and Marketing at South West Hygiene said: “On behalf of South West Hygiene, we are incredibly proud to support and work alongside The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health. Their dedication to raising awareness and improving men’s health across the region is truly inspiring. It’s an honour to contribute to such meaningful work, and we look forward to continuing this important partnership.”
Lesley-Ann Simpson, Chief Executive Officer, The Chestnut Appeal for Men’s Health said: “We’re so grateful to South West Hygiene for supporting us in such a thoughtful way. Adding our awareness labels to their sanitary bins might seem like a small thing, but it genuinely helps start conversations that could save a man’s life.Thank you to Nicholas and the whole team for caring about men’s health and for helping us reach people in places we’d never normally get to. Your kindness and support mean more than you know.”
