Julie (and three of her lovely friends) baked and sold over 250 cream teas using her scrumptious rustic scone recipe. All to raise money to help people affected by breast cancer.

Dr Simon Vincent, Director of Research, Support and Influencing at Breast Cancer Now, said:

Colin lost his wife, Gill, to breast cancer in 2007 and started a fund in her name. Since then, he's raised over £30,000 in her memory with the support of friends and family.

Our nurse Jane Murphy looks at mental health and breast cancer, and provides support if you think you're experiencing the signs of depression.

Baroness Delyth Morgan, Chief Executive of Breast Cancer Now, responded to the latest NHS England cancer waiting times data, calling for the Faster Diagnosis Standard to be raised to 95%.

Louise turned to Breast Cancer Now for support during a lonely time, mid-pandemic. To give back, she got involved in volunteering opportunities, including our Voices network. Our Voices are a group of people affected by breast cancer who’ve signed up to help shape our work. Louise talks about her breast cancer experience, why she became a Voice and how joining the network has impacted her.

Breast Cancer Now, The Association of Breast Surgeons, and the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, have provided a collective set of asks for NHS England to support the drive to train more NHS surgeons and specialist nurses in all types of breast reconstruction.
