Men invited to take on a new challenge
The charity wants them to join in a new health project called ManPowered – helping each other break barriers, build their strength and stamina, and live healthy, full lives.
ManPowered is an innovative lifestyle project that aims to improve the health of men with low risk prostate cancer by encouraging them to try new experiences, expand their horizons and enjoy life. The project is being funded by the Burdett Trust for Nursing.

All the activities are tailored to the men’s interests and include physical activities, healthy eating cookery classes, health checks, lifestyle goals, music and social events where they can make new friends.
Maresa McGettigan, Health Promotion Officer, Cancer Focus NI, said: “We are very excited about this project.
“A better lifestyle improves overall health and may also reduce the risk of prostate cancer progression and improve outcomes if you have to get treatment.
