Please support us this October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a worldwide annual campaign that takes place every October with the aim of raising important breast awareness and funds for those breast cancer charities that support those diagnosed.  As the only charity fundraising and supporting solely Worcestershire patients this is the most important time of the year for us.

We exist to provide practical and emotional support to the women and men of Worcestershire with their breast care needs, working closely with the NHS specialist breast care team here in Worcestershire Breast Unit and throughout the county to provide the best possible care in the best possible environment.  We offer a wide range of support services ranging from a support group, to gym rehabilitation classes, pink ribbon pilates, mindfulness and complementary therapies to support patients with side effects of treatment to name just a few.  We also fund items such as mastectomy bras, chemotherapy care packages, support literature and specialist equipment.

Approximately 800 women and 7 men are affected by breast cancer each year in Worcestershire and our charity is there to help each and every one.  To allow us to do so, we need to raise £250,000 per annum.
