Prostaid is a group of volunteers who have been affected by Prostate Cancer. It was founded originally in 2004 and is now an independent registered charity (No 1116935) with Trustees and a Management Committee. It offers local support, information, befriending and awareness of Prostate Cancer. It also funds two Prostate Cancer specialist nurses, one at the point of diagnosis and one working in the community giving palliative care for local men with advanced prostate cancer, the very first nurse in the UK! In addition it funds new treatment equipment for local hospitals. The Trustees are members of University Hospitals of Leicester Urological Faculty, patients who have been affected by Prostate Cancer and local professionals who bring the required skills to the Charity.
