We are the only UK breast cancer charity focused entirely on the prevention of breast cancer by campaigning to reduce risk, using traditional and digital channels to extend reach. Today 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives but at least 1 in 4 breast cancers is thought to be preventable. 

• We fund scientific research that will help to understand and address the preventable risk factors for breast cancer 

• We educate and raise awareness of the preventable risk factors for breast cancer and provide practical information to help people reduce their risk 

• We campaign for policy changes that promote the prevention of breast cancer
