Prostate Cancer Research

Somerset Prostate Support Association (SPSA)

Founded in 2003, the SPSA soon established itself as a much-needed source of help and support for Somerset men diagnosed with prostate cancer and their families. SPSA is a registered charity and run entirely by volunteers, many with personal experience of PC and the effect it has on their lives and that of their families.

Donate to SPSA In Somerset, the excellent patient support teams at both Musgrove Park and Yeovil hospitals have allowed the SPSA a slight change in direction in recent times. Today, raising awareness and the early detection of Prostate Cancer provides a new focus for the association.
