We’ve now reached 88% of our Prostate Cancer Vaccine Appeal target!
A huge thank you to everyone who has donated and helped us get this far. The research we’re funding at the University of Surrey is looking at developing a vaccine that could help prevent prostate cancer returning after surgery.
We’re getting so close to our target now, and we’d love your help to get us over the finish line.
If you can spare a donation, however small, we’d be very grateful. And please keep sharing our appeal!

Can you help?

We’re looking for local volunteers to help with the admin that keeps our Man Van on the road. This includes things like booking testing venues, arranging phlebotomists and ordering stock.
We’re also looking for someone with legal experience who could offer advice and guidance when we need it.
We’re looking for people in Guildford or the surrounding area - you just some time to spare and a willingness to help!
Interested? Please email [email protected]
