Our Charity Partnership

Supporting Prostate Cancer UK with Platform Collectables

At Platform Collectables, we believe in giving back to the community, and we’re proud to support Prostate Cancer UK—a charity dedicated to funding research, raising awareness, and supporting men affected by prostate cancer. This remains our chosen charity because of how closely this cause resonates with our customers and the wider railway modelling community.

Why Prostate Cancer UK?

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, with over 11,000 lives lost each year. Given that model railways are a passion for many men, we felt this was a cause that reflects the interests and concerns of the people we engage with every day.

What We've Done So Far

In March, our founder Peter completed March the Month, a virtual step challenge where participants walk or wheel 11,000 steps a day, one for each man who dies from prostate cancer every year. It was an inspiring and challenging month, and we were proud to raise awareness and funds for such a vital cause.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Although the challenge is complete, we’re keeping our charity page active and plan to continue raising funds and awareness throughout the year. Expect to see more initiatives in future—from donation-matching events to special promotions and charity auctions.
