About Us

Cancer Research UK is the UK’s biggest cancer charity, funding research and running campaigns to raise awareness and influence public policy around all cancer types. They are also a good source of reliable, evidence-based information about cancer, and their science blog is an excellent place to go if you are concerned or confused about a cancer story in the media.

Macmillan Cancer Support provide healthcare information, emotional, practical and financial support to people affected by all types of cancer, whether you are a patient or looking after someone with cancer. If you have any questions about how to cope with cancer, you can call their team of specialist advisors for free on 0800 808 00 00, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday.

Marie Curie provides support to people with terminal illness and their families by providing information, nursing and helper services, and hospice care. Their free phonelines are open 8am-6pm Monday to Friday and 11am-5pm on Saturday on 0800 090 2309.

World Cancer Research Fund UK supports scientific research on how cancers can be prevented through diet, exercise, and alcohol.

We are different in that we are smaller, but we have a much more specific focus – advanced prostate cancer, which is responsible for almost all prostate cancer deaths.

Prostate Cancer UK is a large charity with a broader remit. Whilst research is at the centre of their activities, as it is ours, they are also working to improve awareness, provide support to men and communities affected by prostate cancer, and campaign for men with prostate cancer to receive the best treatment and care.

Prostate Cancer UK and PCRC are different organisations, taking different approaches towards our common goal – a future in which no man dies of prostate cancer. We regularly meet to discuss how our different strategies complement each other, as we both work to build a better future for men and their families.

Prostate Cancer Research Centre (PCRC) is a smaller charity with more specific aims. We focus purely on research. We focus purely on making sure there are effective treatments in the future for men with advanced prostate cancer, which is responsible for almost all prostate cancer deaths.

We aim to fund the very best research, with the greatest potential to deliver real life impact for prostate cancer patients. PCRC is proud to be a member of the Association of Medical Charities (AMRC). Our stringent selection process for the research we fund goes beyond best practice guidelines of the AMRC, and applications we receive are peer-reviewed by our Scientific Advisory Committee and External Advisory Committee. Each of these groups consist of leading cancer scientists who ensure our money is is invested in the best way possible. Our Trustees oversee everything we do to make sure we are always acting in the best interests of our supporters.
