Sending Clothes and Clothing Collections

Your unwanted wearable clothes, shoes and accessories can help children with cancer. That is because we are now working in partnership with UXT British Recycling Company to pick them up from outside your door, and have them reused and recycled into funds for us. Read more…

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, love someone who has been diagnosed, or want to do all you can to avoid diagnosis, then you have come to the right place.

Together we will protect, pioneer, and support women against breast cancer.

More than just pink ribbons

Breast Cancer Partnership help you do more than treat the disease, we help you to create wellness. Wellness of mind, body and spirit. This integrated approach to breast cancer care gives every woman the very best chance to prevent and to recover from breast cancer.

1 woman in every 8 will be told that she has breast cancer. Our aim is to reduce this number, and to equip women who are diagnosed with breast cancer with a personal recovery plan. This plan should include appropriate medicines and medical procedures, nutrition, exercise, stress management and support from us, family and friends.

Want to get involved?

We are called Breast Cancer Partnership because we believe that everyone has to come together to beat breast cancer. We work with a number of other cancer charities already, and would love to work with more.

We talk with businesses and organisations because we know they have a significant role to play in tackling diseases and creating wellness. They can do this through their products and services, by supporting their employees and through talking with their customers.

And of each one of you plays the biggest part. You support us with donations, fundraise for us and talk to and about us. Because taking care of your own health and making sure others know how to do the same makes our job easier and your life better. Thank you.
