Cambridge Community Board chair Charlotte FitzPatrick and board member Chris Minneé took an early step towards explaining the board’s work to the wider public when they addressed last week’s final meeting for 2025 of the Cambridge Prostate Support Group.

The pair addressed the 21-strong group on what the Community Board does on behalf of Cambridge residents, then added their own messages of support to those living with a prostate cancer diagnosis.

The group’s Ron Greenwood said 21 people were at the gathering, held at the Cambridge Cossie Club.  He said the year had been successful in supporting support men with prostate cancer and their families.

“I am always willing to give time to talk about prostate cancer to people in Cambridge and the surrounding areas,” he said, adding that sometimes a listening ear can be of benefit to affected families as they go through their health journey.
