J Browne has supported our friends at Prostate Cancer UK for the past 3 years and we have raised over £25,000 for the charity in this time primarily through sponsorship and involvement of our staff in their flagship March for Men charity walking events. A number of our colleagues have been affected with the illness and in some cases have detected the condition early through our annual medical, as well as the engagement with Prostate Cancer UK to raise awareness of the condition.
Covid-19 has been particularly difficult for the UK charity sector with many events including Prostate Cancer UK’s March for Men having to be cancelled. We have been delighted to continue our support and we were delighted to present Prostate Cancer UK with a direct donation of £7,500.00 in November 2020 to help their research into combatting this disease.
Angela Culhane, Chief Executive, Prostate Cancer UK, said “We are so grateful to J Browne for their generous donation, and thank them for their continued support. The Covid-19 pandemic has sadly put much of our research at risk. However, the support of companies like J Browne can help us protect future research into better tests and treatments for prostate cancer and fund support for men and their families affected by this disease, which is now the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK.”
