Fundraising and Marketing Assistant

Prevent Breast Cancer is committed to using science to save lives. We are the only UK charity entirely dedicated to preventing breast cancer for future generations by funding vital research into its prediction, prevention, and early detection, so that no one has to go through it in the first place.

Across the UK over 56,800 women develop breast cancer each year; tragically 11,500 do not survive. By joining us you’re helping towards breaking the cycle of breast cancer, and thanks to better predictive tools and early intervention, we truly believe that for future generations, breast cancer will be a thing of the past. This means acting now, to help more people live a life that’s free from the disease. It means funding research aimed solely at preventing breast cancer. And it means creating a world where thousands of people are spared from ever experiencing the pain and suffering it causes.
