About Our Group

A Word from Rob

Welcome video coming soon

A short welcome message from Rob will be added here, explaining what to expect at your first meeting and how the group can help you and your family.

Our Founder's Story

Rob Dixon started BHive Community, Grantham Prostate Cancer Support Group after his 43-year-old son was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Watching the diagnosis unfold, Rob saw firsthand how prostate cancer does not affect one person alone. It reaches across the whole family. His son's mum, dad, sister, and brother all felt the weight of worry, uncertainty, and the search for reliable information and support.

Rob looked for regular, local support groups in Grantham and found very little available on an ongoing basis. Rather than accept that gap, he decided to create a welcoming space where people could meet monthly, share honestly, and support one another through every stage of the journey.

Our Purpose

We meet on the second Saturday of each month to offer help, support, and shared experiences. Meetings are a chance to talk about treatment options and side effects, hear from guest medical speakers when available, and simply spend time with people who understand. Tea, coffee, and refreshments are always served, and there is never any pressure to speak if you would rather listen.

Who It's For

Our group is open and inclusive. No one is excluded.

  • Anyone with prostate cancer, at any stage, whether newly diagnosed, in treatment, or living with long-term effects.
  • Anyone undergoing treatment or preparing for treatment who wants peer support and practical insight.
  • Partners, wives, husbands, mums, dads, siblings, and friends. No one is excluded.
  • Anyone who cares about someone affected by prostate cancer and wants to understand and support them better.

Partners & Families

Partners, wives, mums, dads, siblings, and friends are welcome at every meeting, because prostate cancer affects the whole family.

Anyone Affected

If prostate cancer has touched your life in any way, there is a place for you in our community.

Private Conversations

If you would like a more private conversation during a meeting, a breakout room is available. A dedicated counselling room is also available for one-to-one support when needed. Please speak to Rob on arrival if you would like to use either space.

Confidentiality & Trust

Everything shared within BHive Community, Grantham Prostate Cancer Support Group stays within the group. We ask all members to respect one another's privacy, stories, and experiences. No names, no details, and no personal information shared at our meetings will ever be disclosed outside the group without your explicit consent.

This applies equally to conversations in the main meeting room, the breakout room, and the counselling room. Your trust is the foundation of everything we do, and we take that responsibility seriously.
