Welsh soft drinks manufacturer Radnor Hills has been supporting the charity Prostate Cymru with a number of events.
The Powys-headquartered business held two PSA testing days to encourage men across the county to get checked. The first testing day was for Radnor Hills colleagues while the second day was open to the public.
Prostate Cymru is the leading charity dedicated to prostate health in Wales. This year is the second year of its intensive regional roadshow, and the charity is visiting ten locations across Wales to provide subsidised Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood tests to men at risk.
The 2026 tour aims to build upon the success of the inaugural year, in which thousands of men across Wales receive vital information and early screenings.
Men aged 50+, or 45+ with a family history of prostate cancer, are encouraged to take the test, as are men experiencing urinary or prostate-related symptoms, or anyone concerned about their prostate health.
As well as hosting two screening days, the Radnor Hills team this week met the charity's Walk of Wales group on their journey around Wales and supplied them with some much-needed hydration.
The Prostate Cymru Walk of Wales 2026 is an ambitious 1,000+ mile trek around the coast and borders of Wales which ran from June 27 to August 9 and aims to raise £300,000 to fund six Specialist Cancer Nurses.
The Radnor Hills team caught up with the group on their 14.9 mile stretch of the walk between Kington and Hay.
Chris Butler, Marketing Manager of Radnor Hills, said:
“We're proud sponsors of Prostate Cymru, and very aware that our locality has lower rates of PSA testing and this can lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
“We have worked with the charity for a number of years providing them with free water at their events to keep them hydrated, offering raffle prizes for their roadshows and completing big walks to raise funds for them.
“As well as hosting a screening day for the public at our Knighton headquarters, where over 220 men had their PSA tested, the charity also tested 60 of our own colleagues. We were also delighted to support them with some refreshing Radnor Hills drinks while on their fundraising walk.”
Tina Tew, Chief Executive of Prostate Cymru, said:
“Early diagnosis is the cornerstone of our mission. In Wales, the impact of prostate cancer is significant, affecting 1 in 8 men, and 1 in 3 with a family history.
“By entering our second year of this dedicated testing tour, we are establishing a consistent presence in the community. We want to normalise the conversation around prostate health and make it as easy as possible for the males of Wales to understand their risk.”
