ABOUT US
Breast Cancer UK's mission is to prevent breast cancer through scientific understanding, education, collaboration, and policy change.
We are the only UK breast cancer charity focused entirely on the primary prevention of breast cancer through education, research and campaigning. Today 1 in 7 women will be diagnosed with the disease at some point in their lives but at least 30% breast cancers are thought to be preventable.

We fund scientific research that will help to understand and address the preventable risk factors for breast cancer.
We educate and raise awareness of the preventable risk factors for breast cancer and provide practical information to help people reduce their risk.
We campaign for policy changes that promote the prevention of breast cancer and promote breast cancer prevention communication between scientists, consumers and industry.
Our research focuses on environmental and chemical causes of breast cancer but our education and advice includes all preventable risk factors.
