Wessex Cancer Alliance, working with Dorset Race Equality Council and Wessex Voices, are starting a new project and we would really appreciate your help and support with it please.
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 4 men from Black African, Caribbean and Black British communities, which is higher than the 1 in 8 men from other communities. Black men are also less likely to act on their symptoms and visit the doctor, this means that if they have cancer then this can be harder to treat. We want to work together to make sure men are aware of this, that they know what to look out for and have the right information to decide what they need to do if they have concerns.
How can we raise awareness with and for Black men? What do men need to know about? What would encourage them to decide what to do and seek help?
We are starting a new project to explore this and would like your help to make it a success. Wessex Cancer Alliance, that works in Dorset, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to improve cancer services and support, with Dorset Race Equality Council and Wessex Voices wants to involve people in this from the start.
If you are interested, please join us for an informal chat to hear about the project and share your views. You can decide if and how you might want to get involved.

9.30-10.30am – zoom link – link sent after registration
