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.

Temporarily lacking both a Chairman and a Secretary, we need help to ensure that we can continue our work and 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.
Steve Wakeland, our new committee member, and his two sons recently took part in the The Tour de 4 bicycle ride in Glasgow, and raised over £2,200 for Prostate Cancer UK. The ride was promoted by Sir Chis Hoy who, two years ago, was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. Hence the name of the event. The ride was over 56 miles and included one big climb - the Tak Ma Doon almost three miles with an average slope of over 6%. The ride took over 4 hours to complete. Well done to Steve and his sons!
Our committee member Jas Bhamber has bravely abseiled down the 127 metres-tall lift testing tower in Northampton to raise money for our funds. So far, the sum raised is in excess of £630. Well done Jas!
