Give to gain
This International Women’s Day, we’re focusing on the power of giving and what women across the UK can gain because of it.
Throughout this week, we’ll be sharing stories, research, and practical guidance – all rooted in one belief: prevention changes lives.
Give a minute > Gain early detection
Early detection saves lives.
Knowing what’s normal for your body and recognising changes early can mean breast cancer is found sooner, when treatment is more effective and outcomes are better.
This week, we’re sharing our breast awareness video and self-check guidance to help more women feel confident checking themselves.
It takes just a few minutes but those minutes matter.
Today you can:
Because when you give a minute, someone gains time.
Give your story > Gain community strength
Breast cancer affects more than one person. It impacts families, friendships, workplaces and communities.
When someone shares their experience whether as a patient, survivor, supporter or fundraiser – it creates connection. It reminds others they are not alone. It gives strength where there was once silence.
This week we are spotlighting real stories from our community and the people taking on March 31 – walking 31 miles for the 31 lives lost to breast cancer every day.
Get involved today by:
When you give your voice, others gain courage.
Give support > Gain health equality
Breast cancer prevention and early detection are not experienced equally.
Women from ethnically diverse and socially deprived communities are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage. They face barriers to screening, awareness and access to care.
Health equality matters. And addressing inequality is central to prevention.
This week, we’re highlighting the work being done to close the breast health gap through research, outreach and community partnership.
Today, learn more about:
- The realities of breast health inequalities
- Our breast awareness and education programmes
- How research is addressing disparities
- How your support helps drive change
Because when you give support, women gain fairer access to care.
Give a donation > Gain more research
Prevention is possible but it requires research.
From improving risk prediction in younger women to understanding how breast cancer can be stopped before it starts, research is the foundation of progress. This week, meet the researchers working to change the future of breast cancer and learn how your support makes their work possible.

International Women’s Day
Give to Gain. International Women’s Day is a moment to celebrate women’s achievements and to commit to accelerating progress in women’s health.
In the UK, 56,900 new cases of breast cancer every year. But many cases could be prevented or detected earlier with the right systems, education and investment.
This week has shown what’s possible when we give.
Give time. Give your voice. Give support. Give £5.
Help women gain earlier detection. Help women gain equitable access. Help women gain a future with fewer diagnoses.
Because prevention is progress.
