Our next meeting is on Wednesday the 1st of August at 7.30pm, sorry but there will not be a July meeting as it clashes with some thing else that we cannot change. Please check out our 'Meeting Date' page for more information so we look forward to seeing you soon.

We are always looking for guest speakers to talk to the group, so if you work within a Prostate Cancer enviroment or feel that you want to share your experiences with the group then please get in touch with us so that we can organise this for you !!

Welcome to the North Notts - Prostate Cancer Support Group

Picture

This group was originally formed in 2011 by Gerry Marshall with the help and support of Steve Shaw and Amanda Brikmanis and has now been expanded and reformed, our thanks to Gerry for all his hard work and getting us started. 

We are a group of caring individuals based in Sutton in Ashfield and cover north of Nottingham, including all the Ashfield and Mansfield districts, Warsop, Edwinstowe, Ollerton and all surrounding towns and villages. But everyone is welcome, where ever you are from.


We are a very forward thinking group and truly believe that this group should include the whole family not just the men affected by prostate cancer. The men may be diagnosed but the whole family suffer so wives, partners, children, friends, work colleagues, anyone affected by prostate cancer can come along.

The aim of our group ... To provide support to patients, families and friends and raise awareness in the community towards prostate cancer.

So what does this actually mean? We officially meet up once a month where we have a guest speaker talking about something relevant to prostate cancer and/or it's related issues and there is question time afterwards followed by some social time.

If you need to talk we can make time to talk to you privately or you can share your problems with the group openly to see if the members can help from their own experiences.

Then we also form links where we can with other organisations to make people more aware of this awful cancer so that more men come forward for testing to be found to be ok hopefully or if not, to be diagnosed early so that the treatment options can kick in earlier for them.

We have now sorted out our dates for the group to meet and how often we are to be meeting, we have now posted them on our "Meeting Dates" page but because we are enthusiastic it means that we can be flexible so that if necessary we can alter dates to suit, if this happens then of course we will ammend the listing in here. If you need our help and support in between meetings or feel the need to talk to us privately then please feel free to contact us and of course we will help if we can.
