Top Ideas for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
March - Prostate Awareness Month
September - Urological Awareness Month
Run a Prostate Cancer Awareness Event
Target men over 50, especially Black men and men with a family history.
Offer free blood pressure checks or general health checks too — it draws more people in
Offer the PSA Counselling and limitations and options to book in for their PSA in targeted clinics
Use Barbershops, Faith Centres, and Community Hubs
Partner with trusted places in Black and ethnic minority communities.
Give barbers and community leaders leaflets, posters, or fact cards.
Share the NHS Risk Checker
Promote the
NHS Prostate Cancer Risk Checker
online or in person
Share the link in WhatsApp groups, social media, workplaces, and churches.
Host a “Blue Day” or Wear Blue
Ask people to wear blue for one day and donate or spread awareness.
Add stickers, posters, or quick facts to start conversations.
Use Social Media to Spread the Word
Share stats and stories using easy, friendly language.
Post facts like: "1 in 4 Black men will get prostate cancer. 1 in 8 men overall. Early action saves lives."
Use hashtags: #ProstateCancerAwareness #KnowYourRisk
Run a Workplace Talk
Hold a short session during lunch when men can come in to have informal chats.
