Chorleywood Parish Council (CPC) unanimously decided to honor Bob Arthy for establishing and leading Friends of Prostate Sufferers (FOPS) following his own bladder cancer diagnosis in 2008.

Acknowledging over a decade of dedicated service, the council remarked: “Many local men are alive and well due to Mr. Arthy’s efforts in raising awareness of this issue. Both they and their families have benefitted greatly from the support provided by FOPS.”

Bob wishes to highlight that he sees this award as recognition for everyone who has contributed to FOPS over the years, including many cherished individuals who are no longer with us.”
