More than 10,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with bladder cancer each year. Any cancer diagnosis is overwhelming and bladder cancer particularly so because, as a ‘below the belt’ cancer, there is often a taboo associated with it. This short series has been created to assist those currently living with bladder cancer, as well as their family and friends, by taking a journey from early symptoms to life post treatment.

Louise Taylor and Lyndsey Banthorpe of Penningtons Manches Cooper are joined by John Kelly, Professor of Uro-Oncology at University College London. Professor Kelly is also a consultant urological surgeon and lead for the London Cancer Urology Surgery Centre and robotic surgery programme at University College London Hospitals. Professor Kelly is internationally renowned for his pioneering work in bladder cancer, and he has been instrumental in developing studies to explore new treatments and is a pioneer in robotic techniques for bladder surgery and bladder reconstruction.

Across five episodes, Professor Kelly breaks down the science into a digestible format to enable listeners to process and understand their diagnosis and understand what their future may look like.

Penningtons Manches Charitable Foundation is proud to support the YMCA Guildford as an office nominated charity.

Our Guildford office has been working hard to raise funds for the YMCA over the last two weeks. The office hosted a ‘sports day’ themed lunch hour as well as supporting a team of volunteers, including chief executive David Raine, who bravely took on the Sleep Easy challenge. The YMCA Sleep Easy event was a sponsored ‘sleep-out’ in freezing cold conditions to raise awareness of youth homelessness in the local area. You can read more about the Sleep Easy event here: https://goo.gl/kSbXPY. We’re delighted to be supporting local communities across our six UK offices through the Foundation.

Volunteers from our London office attended The Whitechapel Mission's Ladies Day last week. Taking place every Friday from 12-3pm, it helps women of different ages, cultures and social backgrounds to come together to build a strong community amongst themselves. The Penningtons Manches Charitable Foundation has previously supported the Mission’s Breakfast Challenge, but as the majority of day centre sessions are predominately attended by men, Ladies Days provide a comfortable environment for women with female only staff and volunteers. Our ladies had a great afternoon and we can’t wait to come back again!
