OBJECTIVES AND ACTivrriES
Achievernents and Perft>nnance
Background and Introductlon
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK and 25% of all new cases of cancer diagnosed in the UK
are prostale cancers. Cancer Research UK ststistics (2016-2018) reveal there were 52. 300 of new prDState cancer cases
diagnosed in the UK every year (144 every day). In
2017-2019- 12,039 men in the UK died from prostste cancer
(around 33 every day 2017-2019 CRUK}. In the last 40 years prostats can￿r rates have tripled, much of this rise can b8
attributed to increased det8ction with the widespread use of the PSA TesL In the 1970's, around three in ten men
diagrK)sed with prostate Cancer survived their disease beyond fve years. now 80 /0 of men survive their disease for 10 or
more years. However. despite these improvements, according to the Office of Natiortal SL9tistics (ONSI surveys, Leicester,
Leicestershire & Rutland has one of the poorest suNival rates for aggressive prostate cancer over five years in the UK.
Despite this. the Department of Health does not underiake prostate ￿nCer avmreness carnpaigns. In Leicestershire 21%
of men diagnosed already have a prostate cancer metastssised disease which has spread to the bones andlor other parts
of the body. The incidence of local men in the Leicestershire area diagnosed with prostate cancer is currently running at
very high levels at present around over 40 Gases per week. compared with the Northampton area of 16 cases per week.
National average CRK 9.6 cases diagnosed per week. Many Truslees and Members of Prostsid are local men who have
or have previously SLrffered from the disease. Although UK research into the disease is excellent, Prostaid are proactive in
raising funds to increase local awareness of the disease, treatments offered and the care and support available.
High cost of living and inflation have had an impact of the seNices provided and funded by Prostaid and although il had
severely affected fundraising activities. this has now improved considerably. However. despite the issues fa￿d. income
for the Charity within the pèriod has been reduced bul remains positive
What dld we achlevo during thi$ yoar7
Fundlng of Pr08tsid Specialist Nurses
Negotiatlons wlth the Unlversity Hospitsls of Leicester IUHL) resulted in an agreement to continue to jointly fund three
specialist nurses on a 500/0 -50010 basis from February 2023 on a three-year contract. These nurses cover the whole
spectrum of prostste cancer both at the point of diagnosis in UrolcrfJy and, In Oncology for advanced di$6ase. The three
nurses. thre&year contracts wlll come up for renewal in February 2026
In addition, the appointment with Northampton General Hospital Trust of a PROSTad prostate cancer specialist nurse,
All￿ Knight has been renewed Aprll 20th, 2023 for a furth8rthre8-year contract on 50°/0-50•/0 basis as still the first prostate
specialist nurse in the hospital she ￿ntinUeS to work with PC patients in Northampton and Northamptonshire. Thls nurse
appointment for three years will come up for renewal In Aprfl 2026.
One of tour fomier PC nurses Aim8e Winfièld left her position as prostate cancer nurse specialist funded by the Charity In
March 2021 and is now Sister in Ward 28A. Interestingly she still has strong connections to our charity being appointed a
Trustee in April 2023. In addition to being in a new ro16 as sister, she is a nur58 practitioner and together with her team
and £14K equipment purchased by the Gharity the previous financial year continue the undertaking of prostate cancer
transperineally biopsies and continue lo dramatically reduce the patients. waiting times for a biopsy.
The Charity's fomier Specialist NU￿e. Jo Wortley. has continued to develop the role of Lead Nurse in the Urology
Department, funded through UHL hospitals by the Integrated Care Board (was Clinical Commissioning Group).and has
now been promote to organising the role of her nurses as head of dept. This role is SUPFKJrted by changes in the nursing
team. so she is supported by Aro Femando, Alison Leggats. Rebecca Mills who are fvnded by PROSTaid
UHL has the largest prostale cancer cohort of nurses in the UK due trj the pioneering and foresrght of the charFty in funding
the ffirst nurse in Urology in March 2007.All our nurses work continues still in difficult conditions brought by numerous
problems throughout the NHS.
Professlonal Training for Proslald Speclallst Nurses
The new Northampton Prostaid Prostate Cancer Nurse was scheduled to receive initial training by the lead prostate cancer
nurse and herteam. Disappointingly through staffing shortages at Northampton General Hospital this had not been possible
Hopefully. now that NHG share the same Chief Executive and ChaiM￿n as UHL under the University Hospitals of
Northampion from July 2024 and support of University of Leicester this will be able to commence in the forthcoming year,
The University Hospitals of Leicester and Prostald wlll continue to support professional tralning for specialist nurses to

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Management of the Charlty
Before the Covld epidemlc Prostaid had a Leicestershire & Rutland Committee and a satellite Northampton committee
whose function was to suppor( provide awareness and plan fijndraising activllles to support the aims of the Charity.
Whilst th6 Board regarded this opportunty as an ideal method of introducing those members who asplre to be Trustees to
the operations and functions of tha Board.
Due to serious illne$$, the loss and death of the Northampton Chaimian, injury. lack of support, NHS Treatment delays
and the economic situation the Trustees a¢¢ept that this is in practical temis is no longer possible.
The Trustees have now decided due to these very many practical difficulties and health problems in the case of the
Northampton Committee. That Éi has no altematlve but to r8pla¢e both with new forums one for Leicestsrshire and one
for Northamptonshire here interested parties invited from the support groups and our supporters wlll b8 invited to attend
tt)e Forum with Trustees that wlll meet to discuss new ideas and innovations for the charity.

Having satisfied myselfthat the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and
are eligible for independent examination. I report in respect of my examination of your charivs accounts as canied out
under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 {Ihe 2011 ACV). In caryirwJ out my examination I have followed the Directions
given by the Charity Commission under Section 14515) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examlner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250.000 your examiner musi be a rnem￿r of a listed body. I ran confimi
that l am qualified to undertake the examination because l am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified
Accountants. which is one of the listed bodl88.
I have completed my examination. I confimi that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examlnatlon
giving me cause to believe:
accounting records were nol kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act,. or
the a¢counts do not accord with those records., or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any
requirement that the accounts give a tNe and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent
examination- or
the accounts have not been prepared In accordance with the m8thods and principles of the Ststement of
Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by chariti8s (applicable to charities preparing thelr accounts
in accordanc8 With the Financial Reportlng Standard applicable in the UK and Republi¢ of I￿rand {FRS 102)).
I have no concems and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should
be drawn in this report in order to ertable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
