Host a Breast Friends BBQ
2026-06-01 - 2027-09-01 | Co Down
We’ve teamed up with BBQ Social Media Influencers Jim Moore @onlyslaggin and his wife Romilly @only.rom to encourage as many people as possible to take on a ‘Breast Friends BBQ’ this summer to raise vital funds for our life-saving breast screening service.
The campaign encourages friends, families, and neighbours to come together this summer around the BBQ to enjoy good food and meaningful conversations, all while supporting a great cause.
It costs us £120 to deliver a free breast screening to a local woman either at Action Cancer House or on board the Big Bus. We screen approximately 8,000 women a year for breast cancer. As our breast screening service receives no government funding, we heavily rely on the generosity of local people to keep this service going.
Joanne Henderson, mum of two from Holywood, is an Action Cancer Ambassador having been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42:
“Action Cancer saved my life through early breast cancer detection. I had no signs or symptoms and have no idea how long before I would have noticed anything. I may not have reached the age of 50 for my first mammogram with the NHS.”
“Please get together with your loved ones, spread awareness and support this wonderful cause. The funds raised by your BBQ could save the life of a local woman in your community, someone just like me.”
Fill out the form below to express your interest and for a fundraising pack which includes some delicious pink themed BBQ recipes, created by Romilly.
