A blood test screening event for prostate health is set to take place at St Mary's Stadium.

On July 19, up to 500 men will be screened for their PSA levels by appointment.

Men aged 50 to 80, and those 40 or over with a family history of prostate cancer or of Black ethnicity, are eligible.

Donations are welcomed to cover costs.

The organiser, Prostate Cancer Support Organisation (PCaSO), has partnered with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Freemasons for the event.

Paul Bowler, PCaSO Hampshire branch chair, said: "With 33 men dying every day from prostate cancer, we urge partners and friends of men to get them tested because an elevated PSA level is a cause for medical concern.

"We know that a lot of men are uncomfortable or embarrassed about healthcare screening, but the price of stubbornness can be death – is that a price worth paying?"

Appointments are bookable through the PCaSO website.
