Paint Altrincham Blue is back for another year, bringing the community together to support vital causes – Prostate and testicular Cancers and Men’s Mental Health Awareness. This week-long event, taking place from Monday 6^th – Saturday 11^th November, promises an exciting lineup of activities and initiatives to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer UK and Andy’s Man Club.

The event is organised each year by Tony Collier, who was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer in 2017 at the age of 60.

The event highlights include:

Comedy Night at Altrincham Football Club: On Thursday 9^th November, Altrincham Football Club will play host to a side-splitting comedy night with Ace Lips Comedy. Prepare for an evening of laughter while contributing to a great cause.

Tickets can be booked here:

The Blue Jersey Challenge Town Trail: Follow the trail sheet to find the blue football and rugby shirts, generously donated by national teams and their supporters, name the teams for a chance to win family passes to the Everyman Altrincham and Altrincham FC!  Pick-up trail sheets from the customer service desk at Tesco Extra on Manor Road and return completed trail sheets to them.  This is a great activity for all the family and especially the sports fans amongst you! The trail will highlight awareness of men’s health issues.

Awareness Stand at Tesco Extra: On Friday 10^th and Saturday 11^th November, a dedicated awareness stand will be set up at Tesco Extra, offering information and support for those interested in learning more about Prostate Cancer. Feel free to drop by and join the conversation.

Many local businesses are joining the initiative by offering blue-themed specials, such as cocktails and cakes, throughout the week.

Tony Collier explained, “Paint Altrincham Blue is an event that not only aims to raise crucial funds for Prostate Cancer UK and Andy’s Man Club but also seeks to create a community of support and understanding around men’s health issues. Prostate and testicular cancers and mental health challenges are significant concerns that affect many individuals and families, and it’s essential to continue raising awareness and funds for these causes.

Join us in making a difference during this special week and help us Paint Altrincham Blue! Every little contribution counts, whether it’s a moment of laughter at the comedy night, participating in the town trail, or supporting local businesses that have embraced the cause.”
