One-to-one peer support for people living with secondary breast cancer

Categories: Personal diagnosis | Secondary breast cancer

Complete a survey about whether you’d be interested in a one-to-one support service for people with secondary breast cancer, and help us decide whether we develop and pilot it.

What’s the project about?

We’ve heard from some people with secondary breast cancer that they would value having a free one-to-one peer support service. 

This service would give people living with secondary breast cancer the opportunity to connect with someone else living with the disease so they can get support from someone who really understands. 

We want to understand whether this is a service that people would like to have access to, and whether people would be interested in volunteering to support other people. 

This will help us decide whether this is something we should look into developing and testing.

Who’s organising it?

Name of project lead: Lotte Adams

Job title: New projects and business growth manager

Organisation: Breast Cancer Now

Email address: lotte.adams@breastcancernow.org

Phone number: 02079 603 558

Who can take part?

You can take part if you are living with secondary breast cancer and live in the UK. 

Why do you want me to be involved? 

By taking part you can help us understand what interest there is in this service. This will help us decide if and how we could develop and test a new one-to-one support service. 

What will you ask me to do?

We’d like you to complete a short, anonymous survey. It should take around 5 to 10 minutes to complete. 

In the survey, we’ll ask you 

  1. Your interest in a free one-to-one peer support service. And anything that might affect whether you use it
  2. What you’d like to get from a one-to-one peer support service 
  3. Whether you’d be interested to support someone else living with secondary breast cancer 

The questions on number 3 are not asking for a commitment, we’re just trying to understand how likely it is people would give their time to support this service.

You’ll also be able to give your details if you’d like to be kept up to date with progress and potentially be involved further. 

How do I get involved?

Please complete the survey.

If you haven't got internet access and would like to fill out this survey over the phone, please get in touch with Lotte at lotte.adams@breastcancernow.org or by calling her on 02079 603 558.

We'd like to hear from as many people as possible about whether they'd be interested in this service. If you'd like to, please forward this to other people you know who are living with secondary breast cancer. 

When’s the deadline?

9am on 17 November 2025

Get involved

Complete the survey and help us understand how much interest there is for a one-to-one service for people with secondaries and inform our decisions about whether we develop it.
