With our upbeat approach to awareness, we’ve reached thousands, as well as improving the wellbeing of hundreds of the South-West’s testicular cancer patients. In 2012, we won the QIC ‘Cancer Charity Initiative of the Year’ award in recognition of the real impact our support activities are having on patients’ quality of life and in 2015 won Campaign of the Year in the Bristol Post health and care awards.

Where the money goes
We are here to support you. It’s in the Bag provides a range of support at diagnosis of Testicular (Germ Cell) Cancer, during treatment and beyond.
More on support
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 45. Yet, for many young and middle-aged guys, it’s not even on their radar. Over 2,500 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer in the UK, but it is over 96% curable and, when detected early, requires less treatment. Nevertheless, many men don’t like to talk about their balls and find it a struggle to go to the GP. We would like to encourage men to check themselves regularly and feel confident to see a GP if they have any concerns.
More on awareness
All charity organisations need volunteers and It’s in the Bag is no different – we simply couldn’t exist without our volunteers.
Our projects are only made possible due to the passion and dedication of people like you!

We want you to have a ball while doing something positive for men’s health. No matter how much, or how little, time you have spare, you can make a difference. You could help us to run an awareness stall at a festival or fair, or if you’d like to do a bit more.
