The Prostate Cancer Charity was founded in 1996 by Professor Jonathan Waxman to address the 'Outrageous and arbitrary surgical treatment of men'.

We started small: five members of staff and with our helpline housed in a small room in Hammersmith hospital. It ran one day a week.

We merged with Prostate Action in 2012 and completely rebranded to form Prostate Cancer UK. In the last 20 years, we’ve invested over £37 million into ground breaking research, and continue to provide award-winning support for men.

The UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health.

For almost a century, we’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, we provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict. On the phone and online. In the community and at our treatment centres.

We’re on a mission to raise awareness that invisible injuries can be just as hard to cope with as physical ones. So when a veteran is having a tough time, we’re there to help tackle the past and to help them take on the future.

West Mercia Women's Aid started its life in Hereford, where, as in other parts of the country, Women's Aid grew out of the women's movement of the late 1960s and early 70s, when the issue of violence in the home became highlighted. The group came together in the late 70s, made up entirely of committed volunteers, many of them survivors of domestic violence. The initial task was to raise awareness and lobby for services, but the group quickly realised the urgent need to provide some support, and a helpline and advocacy service was set up, again entirely run by volunteers, to support and provide practical assistance to women in Herefordshire.

THE FRIENDS of DORE ABBEY

The registered Charity was formed in 1993 after this fine Grade 1 Listed Building was threatened with closure. The structure was damp, and the stone roof tiles were breaking up, but five local people were convinced that it could be saved. With the help of English Heritage, the PCC, various Charities and the Hoskyns family, the fifth phase of repair and conservation is now complete. The Abbey has a renewed life at last.
