About The Pelvic Radiation Disease Association (PRDA)
Pelvic Radiation Disease (PRD) is a long-term side-effect (‘late effect’) of pelvic radiotherapy treatment affecting an estimated 100,000 people in the UK. People affected by PRD often have a complex set of symptoms affecting the bowel, bladder, sexual function or other functions for many years after radiotherapy, sometimes only appearing several years after radiotherapy treatment.
PRDA is a small UK charity working to raise awareness of PRD so that the effects of PRD are minimised, that people affected by PRD are given the best possible care and treatment, and that PRD is accepted as a serious problem and given the attention it deserves.
Being a Trustee
The board is made up of six trustees, plus a Chair, who bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion. The trustees are responsible for setting the strategic direction of the charity, managing finances and developing opportunities to increase the profile and impact of the charity.
As a small charity navigating the current challenging landscape with an increased demand for our services and support, we are seeking to become more financially sustainable in the longer term and grow our work. For this reason, we are looking for trustees with experience of fundraising and finance. Our current treasurer is seeking to step down from this role at the end of 2026, and therefore we need someone with skill and expertise to cover this vital area of work.
