Breast cancer

Every year, more than 55,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer, with 11,500 deaths. The majority of people affected by breast cancer are women, but 400 men are diagnosed every year.

The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant making trust with a mission to fund projects and provide financial support to UK charities which relieve the needs of people who are suffering from, have been affected by breast cancer, or who work to advance the understanding of breast cancer and its early detection and treatment.
