Cancer Focus NI is Getting ManPowered

ManPowered is an innovative healthy lifestyle project - recently launched by Cancer Focus Northern Ireland - that aims to improve the health outcomes of local men who have low risk prostate cancer.  In Northern Ireland, over 1,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, making it the most common form of cancer in males.  ManPowered will begin in the greater Belfast region, and will later move out into the Western, Southern and South Eastern Trust areas.  This lifestyle project is being offered to men who are having their prostate monitored by their GP (i.e. ‘under active surveillance’).  The programme is tailored to men’s needs and interests, and includes a range of physical activities, cookery classes as part of a healthy eating regime, health checks, lifestyle goals, music and social activities to improve social connections and mental health.  The year-long project is being funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing and will run throughout 2017.  If you’d like to find out more, contact Maresa McGettigan on Tel: 02890 680743 or Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
