From my own prostate cancer diagnosis, I know how difficult, embarrassing, and often degrading it is to have to use sanitary pads when there's no sanitary bin in men's toilets for me to dispose of the pad with dignity. Often meaning I don't go out.
I'm campaigning for bins for boys to be in all public toilets in Wales. The Vale of Glamorgan has already embraced my campaign - with the Welsh Government backing, we really can make a difference to so many men with this basic hygiene support.

This is a common cause of concern with other men I talk to at my cancer group, CHILL - Cancer Help In Local Lives, proving the need for change.
