We need your support to get our prevention message across to politicians and public health officials. Breast Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. Despite welcome improvements in diagnosis and treatment, efforts to prevent breast cancer have stalled. Yet, over a quarter of breast cancers could be averted if prevention was put at the forefront of policy making and public health practice.
We work to shape policy making to prevent breast cancer by improving consumer protections, promoting cancer prevention policies and advocating for a precautionary approach. To get our message across to policy makers we cover a range of policy areas including: chemicals, public health policy and environmental pollution.
We’re calling on the Government to establish a Breast Cancer Prevention Strategy, which prioritises the primary prevention of the disease, thereby broadening the current focus on secondary prevention, early diagnosis and search for a cure.
A donation of just £10 can help us reach out to new mums with educational information and guidance on how they can protect the future health of their children.
