Help us promote Breast Cancer Voices
Share your experience of getting involved with projects through Breast Cancer Voices and help us inspire more people to get involved, and use their experiences to create change.
What's the project about?
As Breast Cancer Voices, you’ve gotten involved in some amazing projects with Breast Cancer Now and with researchers across the UK. Breast Cancer Voices is so important in making sure that the experiences of people affected by breast cancer are shaping the decisions made about breast cancer research, support, policy and care. Now and for people diagnosed in the future.
We’re looking at how we can promote Breast Cancer Voices more widely, so that more people can use their experience to make a difference. And so that the diversity of experiences are heard.
As part of this, we want to share more stories from Voices about the projects they’ve been part of. We want to hear from you about what you’ve done through Voices, and what it means to you.
Who's organising it?
