Paint Fleet Blue Week 20 – 26 March 2017
Following on from the success of the Paint Fleet Pink Week in October 2015 which raised over £30,000 for the Frimley Park Hospital Breast Care Appeal Paint Fleet Blue Week is taking place from 20 to 26 March raising money for Fleet Lions prostate cancer screening.
What else is happening?

There is a fishing competition, a quiz night, the Riding for the Disabled fundraising events , Sugarplum Boutique & Home are holding a Shopping Evening and local businesses will be holding cake sales or fundraising through the week.

It's well proven that early detection and treatment may vastly increase the chances of survival.
Get involved
