From Healthwatch Brent

We have teamed up with Orchid - Fighting Male Cancer and Brent Museums and Archives to bring you a new and exciting photographic exhibition – One in Four.

This photographic exhibition comprising of sixteen powerful and thought provoking portraits of local black African and black Caribbean men to help raise awareness regarding ethnicity being a risk factor associated with prostate cancer. With prostate cancer incidence increasing every year and predicted to be the most common form of cancer by 2030, and with 1 in 4 black African and black Caribbean men being diagnosed in their lifetime this vital exhibition demonstrates the importance and need for awareness and support within the communities.

One in Four forms part of a suite of resources and activities developed specifically by Orchid as part of the “Changing lives, engaging Black African and Black Caribbean men at risk of or with prostate cancer” programme, which is funded by the Big Lottery Fund – Reaching Communities Programme.
