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.”
