‘Balls to Cancer’ is a registered local charity based in Coseley, Dudley (Charity no. 1146185), and it is our aim to fight cancer with fun! They raise funds for male cancer awareness and education but also occasionally donate a proportion to other associated causes and research. They raise awareness through the media, social networks, leaflets and posters, to try to make both men and women more aware of the dangers of cancer and to help men help themselves. They want to open a male only contact point for men/boys who have been diagnosed with cancer or are worried about cancer and their families. They are funding a local education programme for teenagers to help them understand and take away the taboo of talking about testicular cancer and asking for help. They are hoping to go nationwide with this next year. They are also putting aside a small amount of funds for research projects they feel are making headway in their particular field. This funding will also be there to help individuals who need specialist treatment, or support for families affected financially due to treatment. They have already given money to many research projects and hospitals such as Birmingham, Wolverhampton & Brunel Universities as well as funding special sensory equipment of The Birmingham Children’s Hospital. They are funding two luxury holiday homes at Haven, Burnham on Sea holiday park for the use of cancer sufferers and their families, completely free of charge. They provide free Chemo packs containing many things to help with the side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. They have introduced ‘The Geoff Bates Fund’ with the aim to help families bridge that financial gap and help them survive.
