Our contribution has been a significant factor in these hospitals achieving ‘Centre of Excellence’ status in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. The funds we raise are used for equipment and specialist nursing staff and also for clinical research into improving prostate cancer treatments.

We have no paid fundraisers and rely entirely on our own efforts and those of many volunteers. Every pound we receive flows straight to the point of need.

Our research initiative, launched in 2006 at the University of Surrey Postgraduate Medical School, has grown in just 18 months to become the largest charity-funded prostate cancer research group in the UK. Currently 25 strong, The Prostate Project Foundation team are already producing results of international importance including the development of antibodies against targets on the surface of prostate cancers, the development of vaccines from the patient’s own immune cells and the use of a potential new marker in urine to identify the presence of prostate cancer.

Please send donations to our Chairman, Colin Stokes. Our address and contact numbers can be found in the ‘Contact us’ page
