Prominent #health adverts from Roadvert on each side of our eye-catching blue vehicle highlight the fact that one in eight men will suffer from #prostate cancer. Latest figures suggest that 144 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every day. The lorry carries the Prostate Cancer UK 30-second risk check message that can save lives, along with a link to the #charity website for more information. It’s a colourful demonstration of our continuing #commitment to promoting #health awareness and will operate alongside its bright pink freighter launched last year to spread awareness of breast #cancer.

We're committed to improving the #health and #wellbeing of residents by providing them with the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities - and our #leisure centres are a key part of this. Leisure and #fitness activities can have a positive impact on people’s #mentalhealth and it’s important that we do all we can to ensure our facilities are up to the standard that users expect.

We were delighted to support Dennis Eagle’s fundraising and awareness raising activities for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 💗 Our bright pink waste freighter carries a vital health message across 365sq of South Kesteven every day.
