If you didn’t know already, girls, we’ve partnered with some pretty amazing charities for our #FeelYourBreast campaign.

Our partner charities are making a huge difference within the cancer community and honestly, we couldn’t be more grateful. With organisations such as CoppaFeel! and Trekstock, support for people with cancer has grown massively over the last few years and people are now more clued up than ever on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.  

With 100% of all donations we receive going to our partner charities, you’re probably wondering how our #FeelYourBreast donations impact the work these charities are doing. Well, let us fill you in… 

 

Trekstock and CoppaFeel!

 

About CoppaFeel!


CoppaFeel! was first founded in 2009 after Kris, the founder, discovered a lump in her breast at the age of 22. After living abroad in China for 8 months and visiting her GP three times, Kris was eventually diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at the age of 23.

CoppaFeel!’s aim is to remove the stigma that breast cancer only affects certain women within a certain age group. Kris wants people to understand the importance of checking your boobs (at any age) as well as being clued up on signs and symptoms to look for so breast cancer can be diagnosed early. An early diagnosis can save lives, and we want that, more than anything.


CoppaFeel’s Impact


Education and awareness is at the core of everything CoppaFeel! do. With every donation received, CoppaFeel! can reach more young people to distribute their life saving message. So, what exactly do these donations allow the charity to:


£5 enables the charity to send out 100 SMS boob-check reminders.

£10 allows them to equip their Boobettes with awareness materials so that they can carry out talks to educate hundreds of young people.

£25 enables them to provide 70 young people with a handy shower sticker to act as their monthly reminder.
