Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men.

To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups.
