Burrows Real Talk · Wembley

1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer. Patrick got it twice.

He's still here because it was found in time. Burrows Real Talk gets men in Brent talking, tested and treated early — and every talk is free because people like you pay for the hall.

Do you know your risk?

Good. Still book a PSA test at 50 — or 45 if you're Black.

Founder

“I'm not going to be quiet about this.”

Patrick Burrows was diagnosed in December 2023. Surgery. Then it came back. Two months of daily radiotherapy, a hernia operation, and hormone therapy he's still on today. He's 63, he's a DJ known across north-west London as Instructor, and he's spent 25 years working in the NHS. He knows exactly how many men in his community don't get tested until it's too late — so he started putting them in a room and telling them the truth.

Breaking the Silence — Wembley, August 2026

A full church hall. A sex therapist, a urologist, a married couple, a comedian — and no question off limits.

Every pound goes into a room in Brent

Hall hire, a speaker's train fare, a hot drink for a man who nearly didn't come. That's what your donation buys.
