Equity, diversity and inclusion

Standing against discrimination and prejudice, and championing tolerance, fairness and equality in everything they do. This makes them stronger and helps them reach more people. The team is here for the same reason: to give every man the power to navigate prostate cancer.


Fully committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men who are at double risk of prostate cancer. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.


Therefore, we’re particularly interested in applications from those from marginalised and vulnerable communities to support an environment of inclusion where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work, where personal qualities are as important as professional experience, and our people feel seen and heard.
