It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since we visited Orkney Rugby Football Club to present them with our OPA-branded rugby balls 🏉

We were delighted to be invited by the club to share a few words and answer questions about the vital work we do — raising awareness around prostate health and helping people recognise the signs and symptoms early. As a committee, we're focused on reaching male-dominated spaces where sensitive topics such as prostate awareness can sometimes take a back seat. Breaking the stigma starts with talking, and we’re proud to be part of that change. 💙

Some of our committee members will be at the Orkney Rugby Football Club this Saturday, continuing to raise awareness about this vital cause. We're committed to sharing information and promoting the importance of recognising signs and symptoms early as well as encouraging checks, and supporting open conversations. Together, we can help Orkney men and their families 🩵🤍

Orkney RFC x Orkney Prostate Awareness

This Saturday marks our first home match of the season for the 1st XV – and it’s set to be an extra special occasion.

We’re proud to be supporting Prostate Awareness Month in partnership with Orkney Prostate Awareness. Ahead of kick-off, Ken Amer will present the club with a set of match balls featuring both the Orkney RFC crest and the Orkney Prostate Awareness logo – a visible reminder of the importance of awareness, conversation, and early detection.

In the build-up to the game, we’ll be using our platform to help spread the word and encourage our community to get informed and get checked. On matchday itself, members of the Orkney Prostate Awareness group will be present at the club, available for a chat and to share information.

It’s a cause that matters deeply – not just to rugby, but to our whole community.

We’ve got a date for your diary this weekend folks ☕️

We’re in Kirkwall for our next Parish Cuppa Event! Join us on Saturday from 10am - 12 in the BB Hall as we get together for another fun cuppa and a serious blether.

As always families are welcome! We’ll have freshly made pancakes on the go to enjoy with your tea and coffee and a chat from our committee member, Dr Richard Brunt about the importance of recognising the signs and symptoms of potential prostate issues.

🩵 Together, we can help Orkney men and their families 🩵

Want to be a part of a small charity looking to make a big impact?

Orkney Prostate Awareness is a peedie but mighty charity and we’re looking for an extra set of hands to help with some admin work. If you’re organised, would like to help make a difference, and have a few hours to spare, we’d love to have you on board! It’s a great way to support a good cause and be part of a friendly team.

If you or someone you know might be interested, give our committee a shout by emailing: info@orkneyprostateawareness.co.uk

Together we can help Orkney men and their families 💙
