Support and Information

What we do in Scotland

Prostate Cancer UK fights to help more men survive prostate cancer and enjoy a better quality of life. We have three priorities:

  1. Supporting men and providing information
  2. Finding answers by funding research 
  3. Leading change to raise awareness and improve care

From the Scotland office we promote the work of the Charity across Scotland ensuring access to  vital support for everyone affected by prostate cancer, concerned and diagnosed men, their partners, friends and families. This includes publicising our confidential Helpline, peer-to-peer telephone support and free publications.

In addition we deliver a range of services tailored to the specific needs of men, their partners and families in Scotland.
