Ball Tampering Allowed: Starting the Conversation That Matters

Recently, we welcomed Paul Ferriday to CRJ for a powerful and thought-provoking session on male cancer awareness, delivered through his initiative, Ball Tampering Allowed Trust.

Why This Conversation Matters

In industries like ours – engineering, waste management, forestry, heavy machinery – the workforce is predominantly male. And too often, men simply don’t talk about their health.

Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men, yet awareness and early detection remain low. The message behind Ball Tampering Allowed is simple: Check yourself. Talk about it. Act early. Because early detection saves lives.

Breaking the Stigma

Paul’s session wasn’t clinical or uncomfortable – it was relatable, engaging and grounded in real experience, where he spoke openly about: The importance of regular self-checks, recognising early signs and symptoms, removing the stigma around male health conversations, supporting friends, colleagues and family members

The name Ball Tampering Allowed does exactly what it’s meant to do – it grabs attention, starts conversations, and makes a serious topic easier to approach.

Supporting the Cause

The Ball Tampering Allowed Trust continues to work across businesses, sports clubs and communities to normalise conversations around male cancers and encourage proactive health checks.

We’re proud to have hosted Paul and to support the message he’s spreading, because looking after our community starts with looking after each other.
