You can verify Prostate Cancer UK in several ways. First, search the Charity Commission Register at https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/ - every charity registered in England and Wales appears here with its registration number, trustees, governing document, and filed accounts. Because this is a charitable company, you can also check its filings on Companies House (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/). Second, check whether the charity's annual return and accounts are up to date - the Commission flags charities with overdue filings. Third, look for the Fundraising Regulator badge on the charity's website, which signals voluntary compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice.
You can donate to Prostate Cancer UK directly through its donation page (https://www.prostatecanceruk.org/get-involved/donate). UK charities typically accept online card payments, direct debit, and bank transfer. Many also use platforms such as JustGiving or Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). If you are a UK taxpayer, make sure to tick the Gift Aid box: it lets the charity reclaim 25p from HMRC for every pound you give at no extra cost to you. Higher-rate taxpayers can claim back the difference between basic-rate and their marginal rate through Self Assessment. Payroll Giving (Give As You Earn) lets you donate pre-tax through your employer.
Yes, Prostate Cancer UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator (FR), the independent regulator of charitable fundraising in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Registration means the charity has committed to following the Code of Fundraising Practice and the Fundraising Promise, which set standards for honest, respectful, and transparent fundraising. Donors can complain to the FR if they believe a charity has breached the Code.
Donations to Prostate Cancer UK are eligible for Gift Aid if you are a UK income-tax or capital-gains-tax payer. Gift Aid adds 25% to your donation at no cost to you (the charity reclaims basic-rate tax from HMRC). Higher-rate and additional-rate taxpayers can also claim back the difference through Self Assessment or by adjusting their PAYE tax code. Gifts of shares, property, or land to charity are free of Capital Gains Tax and can be deducted from your income for Income Tax purposes. Legacy gifts (in your will) reduce the value of your estate for Inheritance Tax and can lower the IHT rate from 40% to 36% if you leave at least 10% to charity.
Prostate Cancer UK is based in London. The Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW) is the primary regulator.

I have had a year of serious prostate cancer, and much experience with services provided by the NHS, Macmillan, PCUK and other cancer charities. Overall I am deeply grateful to live in a society that has the NHS and these charities. Unfortunately I had a number of negative experiences (Covid only partly to blame), including a terrible one with Macmillan, which distressed me greatly. I was surprised that, with one notable exception, Macmillan support people tended to have a culture of being less than friendly in their style. The one resource that never, ever, let me down were PCUK. They were were kind, responsive, informative, reliable, and always genuine and friendly. Their website is a masterpiece in usefulness. They have truly been beyond great, and I am immensely grateful to them and will be leaving as much as I can to them in my will

My brother was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. The specialist nurses have been wonderful in providing advice and information in a timely and sympathetic manner. This was especially important in avoiding a potentially dangerous misunderstanding between hospital and GP regarding his treatment. As a consequence of my experience, I have set up a monthly contribution to the charity. They are there for you. Be there for them if you can.

This is an absolute abomination. I called and James hung up the phone. I would like to personally meet up with James to discuss his actions or alternatively recieve a letter of apology because of his innappropriate use of a cellular device. He was clearly watching pornhub during the call as he was moaning and I could hear him having a goon
