Leading research and support charity, Breast Cancer Now has today [Wednesday 6 August] launched a petition calling on the Welsh Government to save more lives from breast cancer by taking action to get more women screened for breast cancer.

Last week, the Scottish Government published the ‘Recovery and Redesign: An Action Plan for Cancer Services’ which sets out the cancer recovery plan and cancer strategy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Find out if the contraceptive pill increases the risk of breast cancer and what to consider if you’re deciding whether to take the pill.

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new partnership with Britain’s leading bingo brand, tombola, as we join forces to raise awareness of breast cancer and encourage more people across the UK to regularly check their breasts.

Dr Simon Vincent, director of research, support and influencing at Breast Cancer Now, said:

Walk, run or jog the Lake District Challenge and take on England's finest countryside at your pace. Choose your distance - the full challenge Kendal loop, or a half challenge, quarter challenge, 10km or the Lake District Marathon distance.

Our campaign for data on secondary breast cancer to be routinely collected by hospitals made great progress, but there’s still much to do.

Our local representative volunteers represent Breast Cancer Now at events in their local community. This might be at a fundraising event, giving a talk to thank our supporters for donations. It might be posing with a cheque for a social media snap or running an information stand at a health and wellbeing event.

Choose your distance - a wicked 10km walk, a horrific half marathon or a terrifying full marathon trek. Dress to distress and gather your bravest guys and ghouls to make up a team – or go it alone if you dare and meet up with other chilling challengers.

Holly, who lost her grandad Roy this year, set up a fund in his memory on behalf of this charity, and raised over £600 by completing the Three Peaks Challenge.

Great British Bake off finalist, Sandro Farmhouse, has shared his showstopping orange crème brûlèe cupcakes with us.
