We offer:
information to raise the low levels of public awareness of prostate cancer
comfort and support to men and their families who are affected by prostate problems
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting the UK male population; one in eight men will get it.
Each year, over 40,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer. About 10,500 die of it.​
​
The number of men diagnosed is increasing, but public awareness of the condition is low. Early diagnosis is vital to ensure the best and most effective treatment.​​
Black men have a three times higher risk of getting prostate cancer than white men of the same age, but the risk for Asian and Chinese men is lower.
Just been diagnosed? Worried about high PSA readings?
If you have just been diagnosed with prostate cancer you and your family might feel scared, worried or stressed. We are here to support you.
You can call us for a friendly chat on 01908 110763. You will also find information on this website - see the buttons above. Come to our regular meetings; you will almost certainly find people there who have experienced what you are going through now.

It is with great regret that we announce the resignation of Joanne Baker. Jo has been an exemplary Secretary and her hard work has been a huge factor in the recent successes of the group, particularly in our recovery from the Covid years. We offer her heartfelt thanks for all her hard work and wish her and her family well for the future.
Lacking both a Chairman and a Secretary, we now need extra help on the committee to ensure that we can continue our work and even expand our service to the community. Please contact us if you are able to help in any way, even if only to help with administration tasks.
