We’re the research and support charity
Every 10 minutes, someone hears the words “you have breast cancer”. That's why we're here. And we always will be.
A bit about us...
We're Breast Cancer Now. We’re here to change the lives of people affected by breast cancer. How? By combining the power of research and support.
Our world-class researchers are working in labs across the UK and Ireland to create a world where the words "breast cancer" aren't met with fear. We're building a brighter future for everyone affected by breast cancer.
And because over 600,000 people are living with or beyond the disease, we’re here with support for today, too. Our helpline, health information, and support services are here for you and your loved ones. Every step of the way.
We’re the place to turn for anything and everything to do with breast cancer. Whatever you’re going through. Whoever you are. We’re here.
