| Prostate cancer was for so long a neglected health issue - neither
understood by the public nor prioritised by politicians. By any dimension,
prostate cancer simply didn’t register on the radar screen.
It was against this background that The Prostate Cancer Charity was
set up in 1996. In its relatively short life, the Charity has played a
key role in raising both public awareness of the disease and political
debate about services and support... and there is now a real sense that
for the cause of prostate cancer, the time has come.
We are the largest and most comprehensive of the charities focused specifically
on prostate cancer. We aim to provide hope for tomorrow through the research
that we fund - and practical support for today through our extensive -
and growing - information services.

The Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund is a national registered charity
committed to providing direct emotional, practical and financial support
to children and their families affected by cancer and leukaemia. When founded
in 1992, the intention of The Lennox was to help hospitals with specialist
children’s cancer wards by funding the provision of equipment, refurbishments,
toys, computer games and parties for the children. This has been done in
no small measure and has continued over the years.
However, it became recognised through this work the fact that childhood
cancer does more than endanger (and often claim) the lives of innocent
youngsters; it drastically affects the whole family, and for this reason
The Lennox was expanded to help these families more directly. With the
aim of giving individuals affected by cancer the opportunity to live the
same quality of life we would hope for ourselves, The Lennox embarked upon
a range of projects to bring some measure of relief to the families. Two
of these projects are welfare grants and crisis breaks.
