Powering awareness and driving change with Prostate Cancer UK

Snap-on Tools is proud to announce a new partnership with Prostate Cancer UK. Together, they’re setting out to make a difference for men across the UK & Ireland, starting with raising awareness and pushing for action, giving YOU the Tools to Live Well!

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with 1 in 8 men being diagnosed, yet early detection saves lives. As a brand deeply connected to industries traditionally dominated by men, Snap-on knows how vital it is to break down barriers and talk about men’s health. That’s why the tool giant is supporting Prostate Cancer UK to raise awareness of their Prostate Cancer Risk Checker—a quick, simple tool that empowers men to understand their risk and take control of their health.

But in true Snap-on style, the franchisor isn’t stopping there and it will be fundraising throughout 2025 with a goal of raising £200,000 per year for the charity. It will achieve this ambitious target through events and competitions as well as introducing special products, promotions and merchandise from which a percentage of sales will be donated. “We believe men deserve proactive health screening measures for prostate cancer,” said UK MD, Byron Miltz. “Prostate Cancer UK has launched a £42 million research programme – the TRANSFORM trial – to find the best way to screen men for prostate cancer, so one day all men at risk will be invited for regular tests to find aggressive cancers in time for cure. Our fundraising will support their mission to change lives.”

“12,000 men die of prostate cancer each year and it’s the most common cancer that doesn’t have a national screening programme. It’s about time that changed.” Dr Matthew Hobs, Prostate Cancer UK Director of Research.

Why it matters

Every man is at risk of prostate cancer, especially those over 50, those with a family history, and Black men who are disproportionately affected. With the UK’s current lack of routine screening, too many lives are lost because the disease is caught too late. As part of this partnership, Snap-on is calling on everyone in the franchise community to:
