In Northern Ireland, Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer is the most common form of cancer. This type of skin cancer commonly occurs in outdoor workers such as those from the construction/farming industries. Through our detection service, we provide early screening and diagnosis to identify potential skin cancer cases, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary treatment at the earliest stages.

Hundreds of participants will transform the streets of Belfast into a sea of pink, a powerful sight of how amazing our supporters are!

By taking part in this amazing event, you will help us to save more lives, lives like Tanya’s! Tanya is 45 and lives in Ballyclare with her husband & 3 children/ Tanya had her breast cancer detected by Action Cancer in 2023 at the age of 44 through a routine mammogram.

“Action Cancer saved my life through early detection. The doctors told me it would been years before I would have been able to feel a lump and as I was not eligible to receive my first NHS mammogram until 50, by that point it may have been too late. I am so grateful to Action Cancer for providing this amazing service. I’m so excited to get involved in this year’s walk, last year was amazing & I know this year will be bigger and better– it really is a fun-filled event for an amazing cause! Hope to see you there!”
If everyone taking part could raise the cost of a screening £120 think of the lives we could save! Last year’s walk raised £50,000 which provided 416 local women with a potentially life-saving breast screening appointment! Let’s come together and raise as much as possible for this life-saving service!

For further queries please contact breastfootforward@actioncancer.org or call 028 9080 3344 option 2.
We are incredibly grateful to our event sponsor SuperValu.

Host a Breast Friends BBQ
2025-07-22 - 2025-09-30 | Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland
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.
