Breast Cancer Now aims to maintain high standards in all our work, but we recognise that we can sometimes get things wrong despite our best intentions. We are committed to establishing and maintaining good relations with all supporters, clients, campaigners, donors, partners, volunteers and members of the public, and we aim to always treat people with respect.

Your feedback matters to us

At Breast Cancer Now, we openly welcome feedback and complaints. We actively encourage you to contact us with your feedback, whether good or bad. Complaints are especially important to us as they may help us see where our work could be improved. We will keep a record of all the complaints we receive to help us learn for the future.

  • The reason for your complaint
  • Where and when what you’re complaining about happened
  • The name(s) of anyone involved (if known)
  • What outcome you are hoping for
  • Your contact details (name, address, daytime telephone number and/or email)

We will strive to get back to you as soon as possible and 10 working days at the latest. If you are unhappy with our response to your formal complaint, you can appeal. We will review our response and get back to you within a further 15 working days. 

Taking your complaint outside Breast Cancer Now

  • the Fundraising Regulator, if you are unhappy with our fundraising activity
  • the Independent Betting Adjudication Service, if you are unhappy with the running of our lotteries or raffles
  • the Information Commissioner's Office, if you are unhappy with how we use or look after your information
  • the Nursing and Midwifery Council, if you feel a nurse could put patients at risk or damage the public's confidence in nursing
