You have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our prevention movement.
At Breast Cancer UK, we believe that the most powerful way to stop breast cancer is before it starts. If you are an individual philanthropist or represent a charitable trust, you have the opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our prevention movement by funding pioneering scientific research and education projects.
Every major gift and philanthropic partnership helps us accelerate progress — empowering people with knowledge, funding cutting-edge science, and influencing real change.

Your impact in action.
Through the generous support of our philanthropic partners, we’ve been able to fund vital research projects that are helping to uncover the causes of breast cancer and how to prevent it.
Recent projects include:
- Dr. Cioccoloni’s research at the University of Leeds, exploring the relationship between bisphenol exposure, obesity, and breast cancer risk.
- Professor Spiers’ project at the University of Aberdeen, investigating whether exposure to bisphenol (BPA) is linked to breast cancer development in women.
These studies are helping to identify how environmental factors influence breast cancer risk — crucial work that guides prevention and policy.
Steve Daly- Burbage Charity BikesWhen we started looking for a new charity to support, we found Breast Cancer UK. It ticked a huge number of our boxes. We are really excited to be in partnership with you, as we share so many of the same values. It really was a no-brainer for us. What you’re trying to do is what we’re trying to do – especially around encouraging people to be more active. We’re able to offer people bikes at bargain prices and to be active.
