CoppaFeel!

Who we are

CoppaFeel! are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by educating young people about getting to know their bodies, and empowering them to spot the early signs of the disease.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, accounting for 15% of all new cancer cases. It is a common misconception that breast cancer only affects older women. Anyone, regardless of age, gender and ethnicity, can be affected by breast cancer, but a quarter of young people don’t realise they are at risk.

As the UK’s first and only breast cancer charity for young people, CoppaFeel! want to ensure that all breast cancers are diagnosed as early as possible. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and yet a quarter of young people aren’t aware they could be affected. From delivering nearly 400 school talks to sending over one million free text reminders every year, the charity aims to educate, encourage and empower young people to get to know their bodies and check regularly. And it really works. Users of the charity’s Self-Checkout web app are 78% more likely to check afterwards and 60% of those who check themselves regularly feel confident in noticing a change. Why not have a look (and feel) yourself?
