Prostate Cancer Awareness Month takes place throughout March 2026, a month dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer and encouraging men to understand their risk.
When is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month?
Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is held in March (1-31). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.
Why Prostate Cancer Awareness Month matters
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men, yet early-stage symptoms are often missed, so awareness and earlier conversations can save lives. Explore health & well-being volunteering.
