Havant 2022
PSA Testing (ASDA Green Token Scheme)
It is one of Havant Lions Clubs aims in 2022 to carry out free PSA testing days in Waterlooville and Havant (The cost to us will be approx £12 per Test) Dates to be confirmed.
Prostate cancer has not stopped for Covid-19. That is why Prostate Cancer UK is alarmed by the latest NHS data showing a sharp fall in men being referred by GPs for diagnostic tests in the last year. Since March 2020, referrals by GPs in England have dropped by around 52,000. It is likely this has happened due to fewer conversations between men and their GP.
Consequently there is an alarming drop in men receiving treatment for prostate cancer – 8,600 fewer men than the year before. With one man dying every hour from prostate cancer and 40,000 new cases every year. Early detection and treatment may vastly increase chances of survival
Help is needed to find these men and help them get a diagnosis before it is too late to be cured. Today, we are asking for your help to find these missing men.
ASDA Waterlooville have very kindly agreed to include us in their Green Token scheme which is being run on an online voting basis. If you could vote for us between 1st February and 31st March 2022 it would be a great help. You can vote once per week and the details are contained by Clicking this Link

Eating With The Havant Lions!
The COVID-19 crisis has left many Havant households in dire straits. While the government is making money available to support people during the crisis there is inevitably a delay in getting cash into peoples’ hands. This can mean that in the short-term people don’t even have the money to buy basic foodstuffs. Havant Lions have allocated an initial £2,000 to help to alleviate this misery locally. The funds have been converted into £50 food vouchers which are being routed via Social Services and Citizens Advice to make sure the vouchers go to the people with the most need in the area. With over £1,800 already given out the vouchers are obviously filling a pressing need.
**We are looking for New Lions**
“Havant Lions always welcome applications from people who are interested in serving their community while having a good time doing it! Normally we would invite anyone interested to join us at the Brookfield Hotel to get a better idea of what the club does. However, at the moment we are limited to online meetings so simply email us on membership@havantlions.org.uk and we’ll be happy to get back to you with more information about the Club and the Lions organisation in general”
