Awareness volunteers
Currently recruiting!
Community awareness volunteers are an integral part of our mission, spreading the word within their local communities about prostate cancer risk and passionately advocating to make sure that no man dies of prostate cancer.
Register your interest!
If you're keen to start raising awareness, register below to see our upcoming training dates and connect with the team. We'd love to help you get started.
Our awareness volunteers are vital to helping us reach every man across the UK. They usually have lived experience of prostate cancer, whether themselves or from supporting a loved one.
Many have been sharing their experiences to help men for well over a decade, using their local knowledge to find spaces in their communities to have real conversations about prostate cancer or reaching larger groups through virtual talks.
We make sure volunteers have all the resources they need to carry out this flexible role, including online and in-person training, as well as ongoing support from our friendly team and other volunteers in our community. As a new volunteer, you’ll be buddied with an existing volunteer who will help you find out more, boost your confidence and get settled in.
Hear from our volunteers
After his own experience of prostate cancer, Peter wanted to raise awareness of the disease and help others understand their risk, and where to find further support through talks and stands.
His favourite part is when a man thanks him after an awareness talk and says he'll speak to his GP.
One of the most memorable talks I ever had was at a local community centre. Afterwards a woman came up to me with tears in her eyes and took my hand. She had lost her husband and her son to prostate cancer. She never knew what to say to her other sons and nephews but now, because of my talk, she knows what to say to them.
