Isle of Wight Prostate Cancer Support Group

The Group supports Island men through regular PSA testing Island wide, a wellbeing package and an aftercare service for those with Prostate Cancer.

This charity’s aim is to make all Island men aged 40 to 90 and their families aware of Prostate Cancer and what support and advice is available to them, through awareness days, advertising and presentations.

The Group supports Island men through regular PSA testing Island wide, a wellbeing package and an aftercare service for those with Prostate Cancer. The Group continues to offer, for free, a wellbeing package which includes; one to one counselling, yoga, exercise programs, monthly members meetings and help with continence pads for men after any operation.

“We are very grateful for WightAid’s grant support which will help fund our scheduled testing programmes, to test all Island men by a PSA blood test using NHS trained Phlebotomists and a Consultant who views the results and contacts participants. WightAid recognises how vital this testing is and that it can save lives.”

Said Geoffrey Waddington, Treasurer.
