Last month, we welcomed a visit from the Chief Executive of the Prostate Cancer Charity, a switched on charity focusing on raising awareness of and providing support for prostate cancer.

Unbeknown to many, prostate cancer is actually the most common cancer in men and as I write this, 250,000 men are living with it.   March was prostate cancer awareness month, so the charity has been working hard to get it on the radar of individuals across the UK, so symptoms are no longer ignored.

The visit was an opportunity for us to talk through what we are both seeing from our different organisations and how we can work together to help our patients and victims of the disease.

Despite us running our own charity, which relies solely on its loyal fundraisers, we are open to working with other charities towards a common goal of improving patient care, treatment and support around cancer.   At the end of the day, the more support out there for people with cancer the better.

Charities and cancer experts would be mad not to work together.   After all, if we're all aiming for a future without cancer - surely that would be more easily achieved side by side other organisations with a positive collaborative approach.
