Aims

AimsThe aims of the Federation are:

  1. To assist and strengthen activities of member organisations in support of people affected by prostate cancer.
  2. To act as a focus for, and to express the views of, patient-led support groups concerning:
    • raising awareness of prostate cancer
    • improving the health services available to prostate cancer patients
    • priorities for research into the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.
  3. To encourage and support the formation and development of new local prostate cancer support organisations throughout the United Kingdom.

The sole objective of the Federation is to support its member organisations, all of which are patient-led support groups.

It is not the intention of the Federation that it should exercise any control whatsoever over its members. We know of other organisations that attempt to do this and we know how unpopular this can make them.
