The group is active in promoting awareness about matters relating to prostate cancer. It does that through organising and participating in events of these types:
- Regular monthly meetings, at many of which we have presentations from experts in their field.
- Awareness-raising and provision of information through the operation of information stalls at various community events.
- Giving presentations to groups.
- Participating at forums, meetings and conferences.
- Advocating on behalf of men and their families.
