We started LeakedBriefs because the information men needed was scattered, hidden, or buried in advertising. The same is true of support. This page gathers the organisations doing the work that matters, so you can find them in one place.
The campaign we support
Men deserve a bin to use
Boys Need Bins is Prostate Cancer UK's campaign to put sanitary bins in men's toilets, so that men managing incontinence can dispose of pads with dignity instead of carrying them home in a pocket or a bag. Their research found that 95 percent of affected men feel anxious about disposal, and that many cut down on time away from home because of it.
We back this campaign without reservation. Their BOG STANDARD guidelines set out what a properly equipped washroom looks like, and the campaign is pushing for it to become the norm everywhere. You will find a link back to this page in the footer of every page on this site.
Charities and information
Four organisations we would point any man towards. We have no arrangement with any of them. We list them because they are genuinely useful.
Prostate Cancer UK
The leading UK charity for men's health. Their incontinence hub has clear, practical guidance on managing leakage after prostate surgery, and their Specialist Nurses can be contacted directly for confidential advice.
