The Glastonbury and Street Lions Club (CIO) has donated £600 to the Somerset Prostate Support Association (SPSA), and will also support a prostate testing event.

It is sponsored by The Brue Boys, a local choir established over 15 years ago, that raised £2,580 from a concert earlier this year.

Additional sponsorship came from Burns the Bread and Glastonbury Ales along with two private donations and final contribution from the Lions Club, generating a total of £5,600.

This total sum will allow for 200 men to be tested for prostate cancer.

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 testing event will take place at Glastonbury Town Hall on Sunday, October 6, but only booked appointments are allowed.

Limited slots can be seen on mypsatests.org.uk under SPSA events.
