Orchid is the only UK registered cancer charity to focus entirely on the male-specific cancers; prostate, penile and testicular. We exist to save lives and suffering caused by these diseases by funding medical research and promoting awareness about them.
The research programmes are subject to review, and the conclusions are published to ensure the work informs other medical practitioners and researchers. The charity is supported by a first-class Scientific Advisory Board that moderates activity annually. Awareness Orchid is committed to promoting awareness of the male cancers and improving education about them; this is crucial in helping to recognise signs of the cancers - a simple self check can identify early signs of testicular cancer; which if caught early is 98% treatable Orchid informs and educates through award winning campaigns like ‘Know Your Balls…Check Em Out’ aimed at educating young men about testicular cancer. We produce and distribute information and awareness material across the UK to schools, the workplace, health centres and to individuals.
