New Prostate Cancer Memorial to tour UK
Melanie May | 8 November 2021 | News
Prostate Cancer UK’s memorial is a ten-foot mirrored steel pyramid dedicated to those lost to prostate cancer, and people will have the chance to purchase a permanent name engraving on it to celebrate the life of a loved one.
The triangular structure, which also has the charity’s Man of Men logo on one of the sides, will sit in the Tooley Street exit of London Bridge Station, opposite to the charity’s head office from now until 20 November. It will then take on a UK tour.
By taking the memorial across the UK, Prostate Cancer UK aims to raise awareness about prostate cancer, whilst providing an opportunity for people to see their loved one’s name in person.

Chief Executive Angela Culhane, said:
Other names featured on the memorial include that of footballing great, former England, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Scunthorpe United goalkeeper Ray Clemence, Chic Nicholas, father of former Arsenal Celtic and Scotland striker Charlie Nicholas and former England cricketing hero and Sky Sports pundit Bob Willis.
The Prostate Cancer Memorial was designed by Martin Barraud, co-founder of We Make. You Think. He said:
“The triangle is the strongest form in nature and one which I felt is perfectly inspired by the outline shape of the Prostate Cancer UK Man of Men logo.rnrn rnrn“I wanted the memorial to embrace Prostate Cancer UK’s strength and ability to protect, guide and nurture those who need it most.rnrn rnrn“The pyramid allowed for four such triangles, giving a natural space not only for the logo but most critically for the In Memoriam purpose of the sculpture.rnrn rnrn“I decided that if the surfaces were reflective there could also be a hint of optimism, wonder and hope engendered by them reflecting the sky or wider space around the observer.rnrn rnrn“The final form had to profoundly respect those whose names it is honoured to carry, it had to be tender enough for people to engage with it but equally bold enough to help raise awareness for those so far untouched by prostate cancer.”
