Major donations and trusts

There are more than half a million people in the UK today who have been treated for breast cancer and every year around 50,000 – including around 300 men – hear the devastating news that they have the disease. The confusion and fear that this causes will be felt not just by the person diagnosed, but by their family and friends too.

Breast Cancer Care is just a phone call or mouse-click away for anyone affected by breast cancer. Our free Helpline and information-packed website offer a friendly ear and expert guidance to anyone dealing with the turmoil of this life-threatening illness. Across the UK, we also offer skilled emotional and practical support through a range of confidential, face-to-face services, helping people every step of the way.

Our unique strength lies in the way we combine our understanding of people's experience of breast cancer with the clinical expertise of our team of specialist nurses. We care because we’ve been there, and we know how to help.

Major donations from individuals, charitable trusts and foundations enable Breast Cancer Care to provide our expert services free of charge across the UK.
