Breast Friends
2026-03-08 | Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland
The Breast Friends fundraising campaign seeks to raise £30,000 a year towards our life-saving breast screening service.
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 7,500 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.
Have you had a breast screening with us or know someone affected by breast cancer? Then it’s time to get the girls together for a Breast Friends fundraiser and make a real difference to local women in your community!
Organise a catch up with your Breast Friends and raise much needed funds and awareness at the same time. You could hold a coffee morning, paint and sip event, pamper day or ladies’ night at home, in your local salon, gym or anywhere of your choosing!
You can hold your fundraising event at any time of the year. Some supporters, however, choose to align with Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) or International Women’s Day which is Sunday 8th March 2026.
Jacqueline Rooney, a 47-year-old mum of two, Artist and Action Cancer Ambassador, added:
“I believe Action Cancer saved my life through early breast cancer detection. As the face of the Breast Friends campaign, I will be using my platform as an Artist and Content Creator on social media to encourage as many women as possible to get behind this wonderful charity and host a pink event. This could be a paint-and-sip event, coffee morning or Girls’ Night In. Take time out of your busy schedule and use this as a great excuse to get the girls together for an overdue catch-up. Through your Breast Friends event, funds raised could make all the difference in saving the life of a local woman in your community.”
