A support group is a safe place to talk, share, and learn with others affected by prostate cancer. It could be men, partners, or families – anyone who needs support.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer amongst men. 1 in 8 men living in the UK will get diagnosed with prostate cancer; that stat increases to 1 in 4, if you are a man or trans woman of Black African or Caribbean heritage.
Many face it alone, but you can make a difference. Starting a prostate cancer support group gives men, trans-women – and their families – a safe place to share, learn, and feel understood. At Tackle, we support people who want to create their own prostate cancer support groups. We provide guidance, resources, and advice so it can thrive.
Support groups help people:
Our support groups give people affected by prostate cancer the space to talk
Some areas don’t have enough support for men or trans-women with prostate cancer. Your group could be the first safe space for people to meet and talk.
Prostate Cancer Support Groups help people feel calmer, more confident, and supported. Sharing experiences reassures people that they are not alone.
Prostate Cancer Support Groups can become a place where people make friendships and encourage each other through tough times.
Starting a Prostate Cancer Support Group can help more people learn about prostate cancer, early detection, and available support.
There are over 150 prostate cancer support groups across the UK. Different places, different styles – all exist, to help you make sense of the complexities of prostate cancer.
