We hold film screenings once a month, from September to July, in the Squire Theatre at The Ark in Basingstoke.
Started in 2003, the Pelican Film Society shows films which either never made it to Basingstoke, or which came and went too quickly for most of us to see. It’s a great opportunity to see recent, art-house and classic films on the huge screen at The Ark Conference Centre.
Even better, it is all in support of a great cause, as all profits from the screenings go to Pelican Cancer Foundation to fight below the belt cancers. The charity is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for bowel, bladder, prostate and secondary liver cancer patients. Since its inauguration, the Film Society has raised over £18,000 for the charity to help improve treatment for below the belt cancers through research and education for cancer specialists.

We are really excited to be partnering with medical insurance company MRSL Enterprise as their charity of the year!
Founded by a former Head of Operations of the NHS Litigation Authority and a PhD Engineer, MRSL focusses on insurances for medical risks. The core of their business is to work with medical businesses – surgeons, doctors, dentists and ancillary healthcare to understand their risks, and to develop products and accurate pricing to completely indemnify and insure these businesses.
MRSL Enterprise is also committed to obtaining fair insurance for those who wish to travel with medical conditions, including cancer. If you do speak to MRSL Enterprise – please mention that you found them through Pelican Cancer Foundation. MRSL Enterprise will then make a donation to Pelican.
MRSL’s Chris Cloke Browne visited the Pelican offices and met with our community fundraiser Tim Lockwood to discuss future event plans with us.

We are hugely looking forward to working with MRSL over the next 12 months.
