What we do

We put people with breast cancer first

We’re Breast Cancer Now, the charity that’s steered by world-class research and powered by life-changing care.

We fund life-saving research

World-class research

By funding almost 360 of the brightest minds in breast cancer research, we’re discovering how we can prevent, save lives and live well with breast cancer. Giving us the power to drive forward on a global stage.

To date, we’ve already invested £243 million in breast cancer research – and we’re not about to stop. Right now, we’re funding around 80 cutting-edge projects across the UK worth just over £29 million.
