Hook Village Show 2025

Prostate Cancer Screening
Following the 256 men tested at the Odiham Cottage Hospital on Saturday 11th May 2024 (we were fully booked) we knew there were additional local men who were keen to get tested. On Saturday 9th November we tested another 217 men. This combined with the Home Test Kits mean the Lions will have tested approx. 500 local men this year. A fine achievement.
Some numbers…..
We tested 217 men. The registered numbers four days before the November screening were 150 ….but the Chris Hoy publicity in the media then boosted our numbers, just ahead of our event, when we managed last minute to arrange to increase the number of tests.
The results were:
Red = 15 Amber = 4 Green = 198
We typically expect 5% red scores which is 11 men (from 217) so 15 is a high number.
The age bands of the reds were 40s = 5 50s = 1 60s = 4 70s = 5
Men with red scores are advised to see their GP promptly for additional tests.
We also had our lowest number of no-shows to date. Only 4 on the day which confirms the men who booked were very keen to get tested.
Thank you to:

Jonathan Glen – Councillor
Adrian Collett – Councillor
Buryfields School

Brian Proctor : Fleet Lions

Energy Poverty – You Can Help Those In Need
It is estimated that there will be around 6 million people suffering from energy poverty this coming winter. With the energy price cap increased to £1,770 from 1st October, a further increase of around 3% is expected from 1st January 2025, together with the withdrawal of the winter fuel allowance for some, this winter is expected to be very challenging.
Hook & Odiham Lions are working closely with local agencies to help relieve the suffering by supporting those in need.
You can help Hook & Odiham Lions to support those locally who cannot afford to heat their homes this winter by donating whatever you can so they do not have to choose between
Please donate by clicking the Donate Here button below. The button will take you to our PayPal Giving Fund page.
