AIMS AND OBJECTIVES (continued)
This should be achieved at the lowest administrative cost which seis us apart from the other charities operating in this sector. In this respect, the charity is largely run by volunteers with no offices and low staffcosts to fund. As a result, we are likely to be the most cost-effective charity operating in this sector.
SUMMARY OF PUBLIC BENEFITS
Prostate Cancer is the number one cancer in men in the UK. The overall role of the Prostate Project as a charity is to raise and provide funds and resources across a range ofinitiatives to fight, prevent and eventually eliminate this disease.
The activities ofthe Prostate Project are in accordance with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Our objectives and achievements primarily benefit men above the age of45 although our work on cancer research also has a spin off on younger persons and women. The Charity’s strategy focuses on six key objectives on prostate cancer as outlined below:
4 Raising awareness —for the public (men and women) and GP’s
The Prostate Project is determined to continue its work to raise public awareness ofprostate cancer to promote early diagnosis through briefings and communications to local organisations, as well as using the intemet, social media, and more traditional means of information boards in public places such as libraries and shopping centres. The Prostate Project also publishes and distributes local information leaflets and booklets with content freely available on its web site. Although men are the main target audience, we know that women havea vital role in helping their partners, fathers and sons in coming forward and overcoming natural reluctance on sensitive health matters. A further challenge are ethnic minorities and low-income groups understanding that they have a much higher risk of prostate cancer, especially black men where there is double the incidence rate of white men. Although GP’s have a good understanding ofprostate cancer, we also want to support them in undersianding new developments in diagnosis and treatment as well as the support we can offer their patients.
‘2 Early Detection—PSA Testing
Early detection is key with all caucers, and especially prostate cancer when there are often no visible symptoms of the disease. The Charity actively encourages and supports PSA (ProstateSpecific Antigen) testing in men aged 45 fo 70 to ensure early diagnosis. This should be undertaken in a proper regulated clinical environment in accordance with the highest NHS and Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards. Unfortunately, there are still occasions where men may find it difficult to obtain a PSA from their GP, so in these instances we support their right to have the test and work with GP’s and local clinical services to this end. The provision of mobile PSA blood testing vehicle will ensure not only routine PSA testing but will also target the missing hospital referrals due to the large numbers ofmen who did not come forward during the pandemic, as well as low income and ethnic groups.

3. Research and Development
Another goal is the creation of a world class clinical based research centre focused on new methods of early diagnosis and treatment, especially of advanced prostate cancer, and to better understand the genetic and ethnic issues ofthe disease. This should also be undertaken in collaboration where possible with research on a global basis. This research aspect of the Charity’s work began at the University of Surrey in 2006. Some of the developments produced by the 25 strong team have shown relevance for detection and treatment of other cancers. In particular, much of this research is highly advanced and uses new technologies such as immunotherapy. Support from the Charity is provided in funding for research posts, laboratory equipment and research trials.
4. Medical Equipment, Staffand Facilities for local hospitals
A major aim was achieved in 2019 when the Stokes Centre for Urology was opened at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trast in Guildford, which the Charity half funded at £2.6m. This provides a best in class outpatients and day treatment facility for both NHS and private patients, with additional space for research and administrative duties. We have also funded both Royal Surrey and Frimley Park hospitals with medical equipment where this would not normally be provided by the NHS. An example would be the donation of a £125,000 Echolaser in 2024 to treat benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), thereby freeing up hospital resources to treat more urgent cases, and a Histolog (50% charity funded at £125,000) enabling excised tissue to be analysed in real time during surgery, thereby improving oncologicasl outcomes. Funding has also been provided in the past for specialist roles such as nurses and reseatch administrative staff.
5. Support for Men with Prostate Cancer and their families
We run a support group, which is accessible to anyone, to offer fellowship and support, in the form of meetings and one-to-one discussions, to men suffering from prostate cancer and their partners and families. It is vital to encourage the public to talk about prostate cancer more freely and for men to visit their GP promptly ifthey have concems.
6. Funding for the above
Our fundraising committee works at all levels to drive funding to support the strategic objectives and projects for each year. This includes individual donations to working with local organisations (e.g. golf clubs, Lions, and Masons) who run events forus or who make us their ‘preferred charity’. Our members have always been very generous in providing donations to specific causes both of their own accord and when we request funds. Major events also take an increasing role especially concerts such as at G Live in Guildford which raise a significant contribution and where we can make maximum impact on our prostate cancer awareness messaging. We also have benefitted from corporate sponsorship which continues with renewed focus.
The Charity’s running costs are kept to a minimum and must be some of the lowest in the sector. This is because we are mainly staffed by volunteers with only one paid part time administrator and specialized contractors for support on such items as information technology and communications.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement ofRecommended Practice on the basis ofthe accounting policies set out on pages 14 - 16. REVIEW OF PROGRESS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUTURE OBJECTIVES This section of the report provides a summary of the highlights and key activities of the Prostate Project over the last 12 months. It reviews progress and records achievements over that period as well as outlining objectives for next year.
2024-25 KEY ACHEIVEMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS
-
The Mobile PSA Testing Clinic, or "Man Van", became operational in July 2024 and was formally launched on 3 September 2024. The Man Van was subsequently donated to the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust in late 2024. The Prostate Project continues to provide the running costs for the mobile clinic. In addition to the partnership with RSCH, an agreement has been reached with Medefer, a CQC registered medical services provider and itselfa provider to RSCH, for infrastructure support for PSA testing. The vehicle is one of the first ofits kind, testing many men a year and specifically reducing inequality by targeting low income and ethnic groups which suffer higher imcidence of prostate cancer. The plan is for it to operate in both a regulated NHS / private medical sector environment where it will have direct referral to hospital consultation which will speed up clinical pathway which is vital for cancer diagnosis and treatment. The most significant event was in March2025 when the Man Van participated in the Alf Party Parliamentary Group on Prostate Cancer at The House ofCommons (Sponsored by CalvinBailey MP and James Cleverly MP) where 40 MPs and Parliamentary staff were tested. In addition to many local events, e.g. Cranleigh Car Show, RSCH Community Day, and Shere Hill Climb, the Man Van is slated to appear at the British Motor Show and CarFest, both national events.
-
This was the third year of 3-year formal agreement with the University of Surrey to fund research activity is now in place rather than the previous ad hoc arrangement. This allows both the Charity and the University to better plan initiatives. The Charity also funded equipment, consumables and PhD student posts. The activities of the Research team are focussed on 3 main areas: Improved diagnosis; Treatment ofAdvanced Prostate Cancer; and the reasons behind racial variations in the incidence of the disease. The Research team also contributed te fundraising with 50k ultra challenges.
-
Fundraising continued with the most significant event being ‘Paul Jones and Friends’ concert at G Live in Guildford in early January. As in previous years we raised over £65,000 over two nights. Special thanks are due to Paul Jones and the artists involved, including The Real Thing and Lulu, as well as our long-term supporter, Tony Smith from Eclectic Live Music for organising and promoting the event. We also showed our new awareness animation on the risks of prostate cancer. Planning for G Live in early 2026 is already underway.
-
Golf events continue to be a major fund-raising opportunity. We are highly thankful for the continuing support from Univar and their golf day at the Belfry raised over £30,000. Similarly, John O’Gaunt in Bedfordshire continued to raise funds for us at their Jock Allen day. Thanks are also due to West Surrey Golf Club (£37,000), Cranleigh Golf Club (£15,000), and Hartley Wintney ((£5,700).

2024-25 KEY ACHEIVEMENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS (continued)
-
There were numerous other fund-raising events and activities in the year. It is not possible to mention them all but we thank each and everyone involved, big or small, group or individual. However, two major events stand out which were the tribute gig for Roger Nicklin (£4,200), Surrey Masons (£10,000). We also received a donation (£2,500) from Sanaway, a washroom services company with which we will be collaborating to provide PSA testing events.
-
Wealso reviewed and have now re-launched our Support Group activities. The new Support Group structure focuses on individual advice, mutual support groups and eventually men’s well-being during and following prostate cancer treatment. This is run by Andrew Gabriel and we thank him for his leadership and support.
The fact that the Charity is mainly run by volunteers also ensures costs are maintained at a low level with a very high proportion of donations being passed through to projects with benefit men with prostate cancer.
Overall, we are incredibly grateful to our members and supporters for keeping up and in many cases increasing their donations in these challenging times with the cost-of-living crisis. A special note ofthanks must be made to the ongoing and wonderful financial support of individuals, family trusts and companies who share our goals and ambitions.
PROGRESS REPORT AGAINST OBJECTIVES FOR 2024-25
Aims and objectives for the financial year are set out below.
-
General e We have had a full calendar of events planned and this continues going forward. This has included golf days, classic car shows, and motor vehicle events. More of these and innovations in our calendar are planned.
-
e Review the Trustee and Committee organisation to support the Charily’s agenda. As our members become older to ensure there is succession and attraction of new volunteers. Departing and new Trustees are detailed above on page one.

3. Hospitals
- Continue projects as they arise, and subject to affordability, to ensure that facilities and medical equipment for use by clinicians in our local hospitals are best in class.
4. Research
Several lines of prostate cancer research are continuing to be pursued. The PhD project investigating the racial disparity in clinical outcomes in men with prostate cancer, focusing on the role of the tumour microbiome and its influence on the immune microenvironment in prostate cancers, is entering its final year. Ethnic specific microbiome profiles have been found from the study cohort ofprostatectomy specimens from patients ofdifferent ethnicities and the bioinformatic analysis to get all the relevant data from this is on-going and the results being prepared for publication. The second part of this project utilising the MACSima Imaging Platform to investigate the immune response within prostate cancer specimens from BlackAfrican, Black-Caribbean, Asian and White patients, is now nearing completion and the analysis ofthe images will then commence.
A second research project utilising state-of-the-art technology called GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) to understand the immune microenvironment and specifically the role of a subtype ofwhite blood cells called mast cells within Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer (NEPC) is now complete. This project was in collaboration with a research team at the Department of Experimental Oncology, Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy, and the results are currently being written up for publication.
New research has been initiated to develop a novel ‘prime-boost’ vaccine strategy for men with high-risk prostate cancer. It uses a new cancer-killing virus (HSV5-15) developed at the University of Surrey, which strengthens the immune response against tumours. Testing ofthis virus in mice with established prostate tumours has already shown its ability to prime an immune response against the tumour. ‘The next stage of this work will now develop the scheduling treatment strategy of the virus together with a boosting vaccine which contains prostate antigens to maintain the immune response against prostate cancer.
Research into the development of new prostate cancer targeting drugs (androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPD), continues with the aim to develop novel, first-in-class inhibitors targeting the oncogenic pathways that inhibit Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) growth in preclinical models where Enzalutamide fails. These drug discoveries will provide renewed hope to CRPC patients who normally have very limited targeted treatment options.
