Awareness campaign
Around 1 in 7 women in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and around 400 men are diagnosed each year. Our campaign helps your people get to know what is normal for them, check regularly, and act promptly on any change. Ideal for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, or at any time of year.
At your premises
Our team runs a friendly, informative stand where your people can drop by, ask questions and pick up what they need. It is there to raise awareness of breast cancer, encourage regular self-checking, highlight the importance of early detection, and point people to trusted information and support. Expect printed resources, recorded expert talks, practical demonstrations, charity information and interactive activities.
Expert-led webinars
The first webinar is about knowing your own body: the early signs to look for, and how to make self-checks a habit. The second is for anyone supporting a colleague through breast cancer: what helps, what to say, and where to turn for specialist support. Both can be played on the stand, and shared with everyone who could not make it in person.

Know your body
At the heart of the campaign is a simple message: get to know what is normal for your breasts or chest, check regularly, and seek medical advice promptly about any unusual changes. This is the guidance your people take away.
Stand with your arms by your sides, then raised. Notice any changes in shape, size, or skin texture.
Feel around each breast or your chest, up to the collarbone and under the armpits. Check for lumps or swelling.
Feel around and over each nipple. Watch for any discharge, inversion, or rash.
Lying flat spreads tissue evenly, and checking in the shower can make lumps easier to feel.
Unusual bumps or firm areas in the breast or armpit.
Any fluid from a nipple when not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Puckering, dimpling, redness, rash, or an "orange peel" texture.
Swelling, lumps, or unusual sensations under the arm.
Inversion, rash, or an unusual shape.
New asymmetry, sagging, or changes to the contour.
Most breast or chest changes are not cancer, but it is essential to have any unusual change checked promptly by a GP or healthcare professional. Early assessment can make all the difference.
Our campaign partner
Our partner in this campaign is Future Dreams, the breast cancer charity behind Future Dreams House in King's Cross, London: a safe, homely space where anyone touched by breast cancer can find support from professionals and from the wider breast cancer community, alongside a wide range of online services.
Future Dreams leaflets and information are on the stand throughout the campaign.
