THE PROJECT MIGHT BE OVER… BUT PROSTATE CANCER ISN’T.

The Man Van might be parked up for now, but that doesn’t mean you should stop paying attention to your prostate. 👀

Prostate cancer can develop without obvious symptoms, so knowing what’s normal for you matters.

🚽 Things to look out for include:
• Needing to p*e more often, especially at night
• Difficulty starting to p*e or a weak flow
• Feeling like you haven’t fully emptied your bladder
• Blood in your urine or semen
• Pain when p*eing or ej*******ng
• Problems getting or keeping an er****on

⚠️ But here’s the important bit: these symptoms don’t necessarily mean prostate cancer. They can be caused by other conditions too.

If something has changed, don’t ignore it and hope it goes away. Speak to your GP and get it checked.

And remember, you don’t need to wait until you have symptoms to talk about your prostate.

The Man Van may have closed this chapter, but looking after your health doesn’t have an end date. 💙

🚌🌴 THE MAN VAN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING… AND IS OFF ON A VAN-CATION! 😎☀️

After months on the road, OVER 1,700+ PSA tests, countless conversations about men’s health and more community events than we can count, the Man Van has officially clocked off. 🚌💨

And quite frankly… it’s earned a holiday. 😂

So the passport is packed, the sunglasses are on, the flip-flops are out and the Man Van is officially:

🏖️ OUT OF OFFICE
🍹 DO NOT DISTURB
🧴 SPF: HIGH (Don't forget yours!)
🚌 DESTINATION: SOMEWHERE SUNNY

Today marked the final session of the Man Van as part of this project, and we just want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of the journey. 💙

From the men who came along for a PSA test, to those who stopped for a chat, brought a friend, shared our posts, supported our events or helped us take the Man Van out into the community…

YOU made this project what it was. ❤️

And what a journey it's been!

🚌 1,700+ PSA tests
🐉 A Dragons’ Den win
💬 Thousands of conversations
📍 Countless community visits
❤️ Lots of brilliant memories

But don't panic… this isn't goodbye. 👀

The Man Van is just taking a well-earned break before we start the next chapter.

September = NEW PROJECT. 👀

We can't reveal too much just yet… but let's just say the Man Van might want to keep its passport handy. 🌎🚌😂

For now…

MAN VAN: OUT OF OFFICE. 🌴☀️

Thank you, Blackburn with Darwen. 💙

See you in October! 👀

🚌🌴
