The Charity

The Prostate Cancer Charity

Our vision is of a world where lives are no longer limited by prostate cancer. The Prostate Cancer Charity was founded in 1996 in response to the urgent need to invest more in prostate cancer research and to raise public and political awareness of a long-neglected disease. We were established with the broad remit of improving the care and welfare of those affected by prostate cancer.

The Prostate Cancer Charity is now the UK's leading voluntary organisation working with people affected by prostate cancer.

Who Supports Us

We couldn't do the vital work we do without the generosity of companies, trusts, community groups and individuals.

The Charity is the prime UK beneficiary of the Movember Foundation. Around 46,000 men supported the 2009 campaign by growing a moustache, raising over £5 million
The Charity also benefits from ongoing support from Marks & Spencer and other leading businesses
We are grateful to a growing number of trusts who are supporting our fight against the most common cancer in men
Every year thousands of supporters take part in challenge events or fundraising days to raise money for the cause
Our awareness raising is helped by the generous support of our celebrity Ambassadors

What We Do

We provide vital support for anyone affected by prostate cancer: concerned and diagnosed men, their partners, friends and families. We are working towards a world where lives are no longer limited by prostate cancer. To get there, we provide a broad range of services and fund a robust research programme as well as awareness raising and campaigning work at a national and local level. We are guided by our strategy 'Transforming the future for prostate cancer'.

How We Spend Your Money

Making connections

This year's Annual Review shows the fantastic achievements The Prostate Cancer Charity has made in 2010/11. A critical aspect of our success has been ensuring that each area of our work links with the rest. We explain how we made vitally important connections through research, speaking to people affected by prostate cancer. And how we have influenced more politicians and decision makers than ever before, and connected with thousands of people through our Helpline, our awareness events supported by volunteers, and our information services.

The Review also includes a financial summary of our income and spend for 2010/11 and you can read the full financial report in our Annual Report and Accounts.

Ride for Prostate

What is it, what's it for?

Welcome to Ride for Prostate, raising awareness and funding for prostate cancer. Ride for Prostate is Tony Bennett, the man with the plan. In 2010, Tony Bennett lost his father to prostate cancer. The tragedy of losing his father inspired him to set up Ride for Prostate.

The aim for Ride for Prostate is to raise awareness of prostate cancer through competitive motorcycle racing and fund raising for The Prostate Cancer Charity.
