Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal
The Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal (registered charity number 1183412) is a UK-based nonprofit organisation dedicated to improving prostate cancer awareness and early detection through accessible testing services. Founded by Barry Kilby, the charity focuses on providing free or low-cost prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing opportunities for men aged 40 and older across the United Kingdom.

Activities and Services
The charity organises regional PSA testing events at accessible venues such as football clubs and community centers, including locations like Burnley Golf Club in Lancashire and Charlton Athletic Football Club in London[3]. These events combine testing with educational initiatives to encourage proactive health monitoring. In addition to in-person testing, the appeal offers home PSA testing kits to broaden accessibility[2][5].

Mission and Impact
The organisation emphasizes early detection to reduce prostate cancer mortality rates, particularly targeting underserved regions. By collaborating with local partners and healthcare providers, the charity aims to normalise routine screenings and address disparities in men’s healthcare access[1][2]. It also raises funds through public donations, lotteries, and partnerships to sustain its testing programmes[1][4].

Structure and Governance
Registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Barry Kilby Prostate Cancer Appeal operates under a framework ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance. Its activities are funded through community-driven campaigns and corporate partnerships[4].
