Cancer charities are set to merge

I KNOW that a lot of people care about Breast Cancer Care’s work so I wanted to let you know about an important decision that has been taken to ensure people affected by breast cancer receive even better support in the future.

So I’m delighted to share the news that we intend to merge with a charity that shares this passion: Breast Cancer Now, in April 2019, to create one charity.

By uniting the UK’s largest breast cancer research charity with the UK’s leading breast cancer support charity, we can make sure that one day everyone who develops cancer will live and that everyone will receive the care, support and information they need to live well.

The new charity will have people affected by breast cancer at its very heart – providing support for today and hope for the future. We’ll be able to do far more together: provide even more life-changing support whilst researching and campaigning relentlessly for better treatment, services and care.

You can help support us by providing feedback, fundraising or giving your time.
