Younger Women Together Breast Cancer Now group support service

Younger Women Together: In person

About the events

If you’re aged 20 to 45, Younger Women Together is for you. It gives you tailored support and the chance to meet people your age who understand what you’re going through.

Our 1 and 2-day in person events will give you the opportunity to meet with and share your experiences with other younger women. You’ll be able to get expert information and explore important topics such as fertility, sexuality and intimacy, relationships and coping with change and uncertainty.

We’ll have small group discussions with support from expert facilitators, a Breast Cancer Now nurse and trained volunteers who have all experienced breast cancer as younger women. And you’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and spend time with others. 

Our events occur in cities across the UK.

To meet other young women like me was amazing, as until that point I’d felt isolated. To speak to others with the same concerns and experiences was a real lifeline for me. Nearly 10 years on, I’m still in touch with the other women I met.
