A TEAM of volunteers is needed to raise funds for a charity at a Bradford City match.

Representatives from Prostate Cancer UK are looking to recruit 20 people to hold its annual bucket collection at City's clash with Doncaster Rovers at Valley Parade on Saturday, March 12.

The group is looking to raise at least £1,500 by holding the collection inside and outside the ground between 1.30pm and the 3pm kick-off.

Adam Tasker, 36, of Cliffe Road, Undercliffe, is taking part in his fourth successive prostate cancer bucket collection and is this year's event co-ordinator.

He said: "We get a good response to the appeal every year.

"So many people have been affected by it.

"The Bradford City players and fans get behind it every year. The collections are held all over the country.

"Prostate cancer affects one in ten men, it might affect somebody you know. Together we can make a difference.

"I would say to people get involved and raise as much money as we can and try and get Bradford City to the top of the prostate cancer fundraising league.

"If you're at the game and see people shaking buckets, please make a donation.

"We'll be handing out information sheets that could save your life, or the life of someone you care about."

Prostate Cancer UK is the Football League's official charity partner for the 2015/16 season. Funds will be raised for the charity at more than 60 Football League grounds this spring, as well as at five Wembley finals.

James Mason, Bradford City chief executive, said the club backed the fundraising campaign.

He said: "Bradford City will always do our best to raise awareness of cancer and health issues, such as prostate cancer.

"Many of us have been affected by cancer of one sort throughout our lives and if we can use our communication vehicle as a football club, we will do everything we can to support the good work that the charity does to try to eradicate the disease."

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.

More than 44,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year.

In the UK, about one in eight men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives.

Men aged 50 or over, men with a family history of prostate cancer and black men are more at risk of getting prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer that is contained inside the prostate, called localised prostate cancer or early prostate cancer, does not usually cause any symptoms.

But some men might have some urinary problems.

These can be mild and happen over many years and may be a sign of a benign prostate problem, rather than prostate cancer.
