We’re so proud of what we have achieved and want to thank everyone who has supported us in making such incredible impact. Our mission is to make breast cancer a preventable disease for future generations by funding ground-breaking research into the prediction and prevention of the disease.
Located in The Nightingale Centre and Prevent Breast Cancer Research Unit in Greater Manchester, the construction of which the charity raised £2 million for and which opened in 2007. The Centre houses the services of the Greater Manchester NHS Breast Screening Programme and Family History Risk and Prevention Clinic.
Since 2010, the charity has spent over £5.1 million on ground-breaking research into the prediction and prevention of breast cancer, which has supported our scientists in their work to eradicate breast cancer. Read more about our research.
Our scientists have published over 200 peer reviewed research papers between August 2015 and July 2022 and presented their findings all over the world including at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium in the USA.
