Thank you for your interest in becoming a trustee at Prostate Cancer UK – one of the UK’s most vibrant and vital cancer charities.
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year. It shouldn’t be this way.
We have a vision of a world where every man has the power to navigate prostate cancer. In practical terms, this means funding ground-breaking research, supporting men with advice and information, influencing for change in UK policy and health services and raising people’s awareness about this poorly understood disease. We need to grow our income to keep pace with our ambition and have been successful in doing that over recent years.
As a trustee, you’ll play a critical role on our Board, making sure that we find the right path to make our ambitious vision a reality as quickly as possible. You’ll uphold the highest standards of governance, bringing your experience to support our work to achieve the greatest strategic impact. You’ll embrace our collaborative approach and be a critical friend, enabler and constructive challenge to the team. You’ll be a rigorous, clear thinker who will help move the organisation forward and who understands that people are at the heart of everything we do.
If you believe you’re a great fit for this role and our organisation, and want to make a difference for men, I hope you’ll be inspired to find out more.
With best wishes,
Doris Olulode
Chair of the Board of Trustees
