There are so many charities out there that can support you with the whole cancer journey, from diagnosis to treatment and living with the after-effects. Here are just some of the marvellous ones that have helped us along the way.

Breast Cancer Now
We’re Breast Cancer Now, the research and support charity. However you’re experiencing breast cancer, we’re here. We fund life-saving research, campaign for change and provide information and support to anyone affected by breast cancer. Why? Because our vision is that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live, and be supported to live well.
If you’re worried about breast cancer, or have a question about breast health, we’re here to support you every step of the way. Speak to our expert nurses now by calling our free Helpline on 0808 800 6000 or visit our website below:
Mind
Mind is here to fight for mental health – for a future where no mind is left behind. They work to create a mentally healthy society. Through information, services and campaigns they tackle stigma, barriers and isolation so that everyone can access mental health support when they need it.
Preloved Reloved Cancer & Beyond
Preloved Reloved Cancer & Beyond is a charity that collects and sends out donations of essential items that can be used by anyone going through a cancer diagnosis. Spreading joy to those who need it most. Together we’re turning second hand into second chances.
Black Women Rising
Black Women Rising offers culturally sensitive support, information and advice for people of colour (POC) cancer patients and survivors. This is done through our bespoke projects that provide a platform for cancer patients and survivors to come forward for support and meet other women who have experienced cancer. We strongly feel that no one must suffer in silence or feel isolated when faced with their personal cancer journey. We also work in conjunction with mainstream cancer support charities and brands to ensure that the experiences of our patrons are being heard and are reaching the right people to bring about change.
Future Dreams
Future Dreams Breast Cancer Charity believes nobody should face breast cancer alone or without hope. The charity offers a wide range of in-person and online services providing practical, emotional and psychological support for those diagnosed with breast cancer, funds vital secondary breast cancer research, and promotes breast health awareness. In October 2021 the charity opened Future Dreams House, the only dedicated breast cancer support centre in the UK.
Little Lifts
Little Lifts is a small but mighty charity based in Norfolk, providing thoughtfully curated gift Boxes to people receiving treatment for breast cancer across the UK. Every Box is carefully curated by people with experience of breast cancer to help alleviate the emotional and physical side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment. Little Lifts is inspired by the kindness Oa (founder) experienced from her friends and family during her own breast cancer treatment. She wanted to help people to feel more prepared, supported and loved as they begin treatment.
GIRLvsCANCER
GIRLvsCANCER exists to bring about essential change for the cancer community. To do what needs to be done to empower anyone dealing with a diagnosis and impact improvements of the cancer experience for all.

Our Sponsor
We are partnering with our corporate sponsors, Insurancewith to help provide you with further choice when you are looking for a travel insurance policy to suit your individual needs.
You can use our code CINCOMMON*
to receive a discount on your quote with Insurancewith.
“Following my primary breast cancer diagnosis in 2005, I created Insurancewith after discovering the lack of availability and the high cost of travel insurance cover for people diagnosed with cancer, which was making travelling abroad, even to Europe, out of reach for many."
Due to the charity support I received when diagnosed, I also wanted to ensure that Insurancewith was able to support the charities who supported their customers and people like them, so for every policy sold, Insurancewith donates £1 to charity or a charitable cause. Insurancewith has donated over £200,000 to charity over the years.
Since my secondary cancer diagnosis in July 2020, I have been campaigning and pushing for more understanding, from a travel insurance perspective, of people with secondary cancer, complex medical conditions and those on medical treatment for life.”
