CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests regularly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves. We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives. Find CoppaFeel! online at coppafeel.org, on social at @coppafeel or sign up to their monthly text reminder service* by texting ASDA to 82228.

One of our biggest achievements has been supporting the creation of the Breast Cancer Now Tissue Bank. It’s the UK’s first ever national tissue bank dedicated to collecting samples from people with breast cancer.
World-class research across the UK
We fund further projects across the UK which are looking for ways to save lives and help people live well with and beyond breast cancer. One example is at the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre in London, where our money helps researchers look for weaknesses in breast cancer and explore new, kinder treatments.

Education and Outreach projects with CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! aims to ensure that all breast cancers are diagnosed at the earliest stage possible by encouraging and educating young people to get to know their boobs, pecs or chest, and empowering them to get anything unusual checked out.
Together, with Tickled Pink, we are prioritising awareness of the importance of regular boob checking, knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and championing CoppaFeel!’s message that whatever your age or gender, getting to know your body and chest could save your life. The funds raised by Tickled Pink will continue to enable CoppaFeel! to reach significantly more people and achieve our joint aim of increasing monthly checking amongst 18-24 year olds in the UK to drive an extra 1,000,000 young people to adopt regular chest checking behaviour by 2025.
