Overview
- Greene King pubs are ringing bells at 6pm for six consecutive nights from March 6 to March 12 as part of the Early Bell campaign during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
- The initiative with Macmillan Cancer Support aims to prompt conversations about symptoms and encourage earlier detection, highlighting that one in six UK men will be diagnosed.
- Posters explaining the Early Bell are being displayed across Greene King’s 1,600 managed sites, with additional charity events planned throughout March.
- Funds raised will support Macmillan’s free, confidential Support Line, available seven days a week on 0808 808 00 00.
- Macmillan reports about 610,000 men living with prostate cancer in the UK—a roughly 20% rise since 2020—and says only 55% in England were diagnosed before the cancer spread in 2024, with survivor Errol McKellar and leaders from both organisations urging early checks.
