Swansea Building Society Continues Partnership with Prostate Cymru into 2026

Swansea Building Society will continue its Charity of the Year partnership with Prostate Cymru into 2026 after raising more than £25,000 in 2025; the Society also supported PSA screening events that tested 1,134 men and produced 63 urgent referrals that year.

Swansea Building Society will continue its Charity of the Year partnership with Prostate Cymru into 2026, following a year of fundraising, awareness activity and community engagement across Wales. In 2025 the Society supported subsidised PSA screening days, ran fundraising events and promoted conversations about prostate health within local communities. The partnership is noted as personally meaningful to staff after an employee was diagnosed following a Prostate Cymru testing event. The organisations say they will extend testing and awareness work into new locations in 2026. Key details: - Swansea Building Society raised more than £25,000 for Prostate Cymru during 2025. - Staff took part in seven races and other events, including the Swansea Half Marathon, and wore Prostate Cymru running tops to promote awareness. - The Society sponsored PSA screening events in Cowbridge, Swansea and Carmarthen in 2025, enabling 1,134 men to be tested and leading to 63 urgent 'red letter' referrals that year. - Across six PSA testing days held to date — including those supported by the Society — 114 red letter results have been issued. - The Society will support further PSA testing events in Neath, Llanelli and Cardiff in 2026; dates are to be announced. Summary: The partnership combined fundraising and community-facing screening to increase access to early prostate checks and to raise awareness across South Wales. Planned testing events in Neath, Llanelli and Cardiff in 2026 signal continued focus on screening and outreach, with specific dates undetermined at this time.
