History
[edit]The organisation was founded in 1996 as The Prostate Cancer Charity by Professor Jonathan Waxman.[3] The charity merged with Prostate Action in 2012 to form the current organisation.
As of 2021, EDF Energy is currently in a partnership with the charity, which will run until December 2022.[4]
