One to one support in Scotland
Want to talk?
Many people who are affected by prostate cancer find it helpful to talk to someone who has been in a similar situation. If you’ve just been diagnosed, or are making treatment choices, or are caring for someone with prostate cancer it can be good to talk to someone who knows where you’re coming from.
Our one to one support service is run by men and women based in Scotland who have all been personally affected by prostate cancer. They have been trained to listen and offer support on a one to one basis, by phone or in person. Whether you’re a man with prostate cancer or someone affected by prostate cancer, wife, partner, family member or friend, we will do our best to put you in contact with someone who has experienced the issues that are most important to you.
If you would like to be put in touch with our one to one supporters, please contact Suzy Mercer in our Glasgow office on 0141 334 0064 or email scotland@prostate-cancer.org.uk
Scotland is currently the only place in the UK where The Prostate Cancer Charity is able to offer one to one support. This work has been made possible by a grant from the Big Lottery Fund. The Big Lottery Fund distributes half of all National Lottery good cause funding across the UK. The Fund aims to enable others to make real improvements to the lives of disadvantaged people and the wellbeing of communities, through fair and open funding of people, projects and programmes.
Full details of Big Lottery Fund programmes and grant awards are available on the website www.biglotteryfund.org.uk
