A Cardiff City fan with stage 4 prostate cancer has called for Welsh football grounds to support men living with incontinence by providing sanitary bins in stadium toilets.
57-year old Mark Lewis is leading the national campaign, Back in the Game, after a new study found that incontinence is causing men to miss live matches because of a lack of access to incontinence bins.
The programme airs following the recent news that Manchester United has signed up to be the Premier League’s first Gold BOG STANDARD club.
The initiative, led by Prostate Cancer UK and Caerphilly-based phs Group, encourages organisations to provide washroom facilities that allow men to dispose with dignity.
This means Old Trafford’s washrooms are fully kitted out with incontinence bins, have male incontinence products on offer, and actively raise awareness of incontinence and prostate cancer.
But so far no Welsh clubs have signed up for the scheme.
In Wales, 2,571 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer every year on average between 2019 and 2021.
