Local Groups

Local support groups meet about once a month, usually in a local hospital, health centre, or community centre.  At these meetings, men with prostate cancer and their partners and carers have the opportunity to meet and share their experiences in a supportive atmosphere.  At most meetings, talks or presentations are given by specialists on subjects of interest to the group.  Local group meetings are informal and friendly social occasions.

Many groups also organise fund-raising activities to support the development of better local health services and facilities for the treatment of prostate cancer .

PSA groups are run by small local committees, and are affiliated to the national body as Branches or Support Groups.

PSA currently has the following main groups:
