If we act now, by 2050, we can make sure everyone who develops breast cancer lives – and is supported to live well.
More people are surviving breast cancer than ever before. Thanks to our community of researchers, nurses, volunteers, campaigners and fundraisers we’re having a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of lives.
But we won’t turn our vision into a reality by chance. By becoming a community fundraising volunteer, you can help us meet our 2050 target. Every pound, every hour, every action will help us to get there.
By becoming a community fundraising volunteer you’ll be making a huge difference to the lives of people affected by breast cancer.

Fundraising is my way of making a difference; it’s my way of helping to save lives and it’s my way of giving back to the charity that was my comfort blanket when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I do all sorts of fundraising, from gentle sponsored jogs, to getting my Soroptimists group to sell hand crafted items on Etsy. I love the family feel and support I get in my role. I’d highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking to make a real difference and who wants to feel part of something warm and special.

Meet the Isle of Man fundraising group
We started fundraising way back in 1992 because we wanted to advance research into stopping the terrible disease, breast cancer. We fundraise by hosting coffee mornings, a New Year’s Day dip, Bra Dashes, open-air sleep outs, fashion shows, the list goes on! We’ve formed a fantastic friendship group and love to organise and plan as a team. We meet new people all the time and enjoy networking with local companies and organisations. To someone who’s thinking about joining or starting a group, we’d say do it! It’s fabulous, fun, friendly, and raises funds for a fantastic charity.
