SUMMARY:Breast Friends
DESCRIPTION:The Breast Friends fundraising campaign seeks to raise £30\,000 a year towards our life-saving breast screening service.  \nIt 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. \nHave 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! \nOrganise 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! \nYou 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. \nJacqueline Rooney\, a 47-year-old mum of two\, Artist and Action Cancer Ambassador\, added: \n“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.” \n \nFill out the form below to express your interest and for a fundraising pack. \nAlternatively\, call or text Lisa McClenaghan on 07825 266951 to have a chat or email breastfriends@actioncancer.org \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastAddress *Address Line 1CityState / Province / RegionPostal CodeEmail *Contact No *Where did you hear about Breast Friends? *Submit  \n

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. \nJoanne Henderson\, mum of two from Holywood\, is an Action Cancer Ambassador having been diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 42: \n“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.” \n“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.” \nFill out the form below to express your interest and for a fundraising pack which includes some delicious pink themed BBQ recipes\, created by Romilly. \n  \n \nAlternatively\, call or text Lisa McClenaghan on 07825 266951 to have a chat or email breastfriendsbbq@actioncancer.org \nPlease enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.Name *FirstLastAddress *Address Line 1CityState / Province / RegionPostal CodeEmail *Contact No *Where did you hear about Breast Friends BBQ? *I would like to be contacted by email: *YesNoI would like to be contacted by post: *YesNoI would like to be contacted by phone: *YesNoSubmit
