Supporting Your Journey with Prostate Cancer
Based in Worcestershire, KWPCSG is a charity providing support to anybody affected by prostate cancer.
A warm welcome
Whether you’re an existing member, you’re worried about symptoms of prostate cancer or you know someone affected by prostate cancer…
We’re here to support you.
A brief introduction
The Kidderminster & Worcestershire Prostate Cancer Support Group (KWPCSG) was formed in 2000 for all individuals affected by prostate cancer.
Our members include those diagnosed with prostate cancer, their families, friends and carers. We are here to help from the moment of initial diagnosis, through treatment, recovery and beyond.
Our charity number is 1100718.
