Our Progress Fund invests in breast cancer scientists who are early in their career. Members commit a donation of £20,000 and this can be paid over the course of 3 years.
Are you ready to change the future of breast cancer?
So far, we have:
- Opened the first research centre in the UK solely dedicated to breast cancer.
- Launched one of the world's largest studies investigating the risk factors and causes of breast cancer.
- Established the UK’s first-ever national breast cancer biobank, so that scientists can study real breast cancer samples.
We need the researchers of the future and the support of bold people like you to make more research breakthroughs happen.

The part you play in what the Progress Fund will achieve
Through the Progress Fund, you will inspire the next generation of breast cancer scientists. You will make sure that the world-class research taking place in our labs continues to discover how we can prevent, save lives and live well with breast cancer.
Developing smarter treatments
Treatment for breast cancer is not one-size-fits-all. Our researchers are looking at new ways to find new treatments, improve treatment effectiveness and reduce the side effects.
Saving lives
Despite improvements in breast cancer survival rates, secondary breast cancer remains incurable. We’re focused on working towards a world where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives - and lives well.
To achieve our vision that everyone with the disease lives, and is supported to live well, we need to make more progress against breast cancer in the next 30 years than at any previous time in our history. We need to act now.
