We are always working to provide resources to help, support and empower patients. Giving them the information they need to make better choices about their treatment, while working to identify and target specific unmet needs in the prostate cancer ecosystem, such as racial inequality and bone metastasis. 

Our dedicated staff team is the key to our success, expanding the amount of research that we fund five times over in four years.  

Over the past three years, PCR has won:  

• the Change Project of the year award in 2023 
• the Excellence in Healthcare Partnerships award at the Communiqué 2025 awards 
• Fundraiser of the Year award at the National Fundraiser Awards 2026

It’s been a successful few years for the Events & Community team with good results across the board, increasing income by over £1 million every year since 2023. And we recently won Fundraising Charity of the Year at the National Fundraising Awards 2026!

Now’s an exciting time to join us as we work on a new multi-year strategy and expand the team yet again, bringing in new resource to give the different activity areas space to grow and ensure we can do our best work – contributing to PCR’s lifesaving mission, developing our careers and enjoying work within an ambitious and supportive environment.

Project management and income growth

· Create and lead a plan to implement a proactive community fundraising portfolio, identifying new approaches to test and audiences to target which build towards a long-term sustainable income stream, ensuring alignment with the Public Fundraising strategy.

· Design and deliver ambitious fundraising budgets for your area which contribute net income towards PCR’s mission.

· Lead the project management and delivery of the community fundraising and events activities you are responsible for.

· Work with the team to create and deliver effective marketing plans which meet recruitment targets.

· Analyse results based on KPIs & supporter feedback, proactively implementing changes & improvements.

· Interact with supporters via a range of communication channels and in-person, attending events and presenting about PCR’s work when required. This will include travel, for which TOIL will be given and reasonable expenses covered.

· Lead on relationship management for your area, spotting potential for fundraisers to have a greater impact with PCR as a whole, and working with colleagues in Philanthropy, Partnerships, Patient Projects & across the organisation to achieve this.

· Carry out stewardship tasks using tools like Mailchimp, GivePanel and JustGiving, for which training will be provided.

· Oversee stock management via our fulfilment house and ensure we have high-quality fundraising merchandise.
