What are we trying to do?
Thank you for your interest and your support for Future Dreams.
We’re kicking off October’s breast cancer awareness month with an urgent appeal to raise £500,000.
We need your help.
How can you help?
We would love it if you could share content on your social media channels leading up to October to help spread the word and encourage people to join as a fundraising champion or ‘Breast Friend,’. During the campaign weekend we’d love any content to support donating to the appeal.
Why is it important?
More than 50,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK every year, the equivalent of one person every ten minutes according to Breast Cancer Care.
During the pandemic, it is estimated that over 1.5 million people did not receive their scans, chemotherapy treatment was curtailed, and vital surgery did not happen. Subsequently the breast cancer community is still crisis and demand for our services has increased exponentially.
Our mission is that nobody should face breast cancer alone.
Our support centre, Future Dreams House in London provides a non-medical, safe environment where those touched by breast cancer can access vital practical and emotional support in a place of solidarity and empowerment while they navigate their healthcare journey through treatment and surgery.
Future Dreams can only continue to offer these critical support services with your help. The charity is reaching out to those in the breast cancer community and asking them to become fundraising champions or ‘Breast Friends’ during breast cancer awareness month in support of all those touched by breast cancer.
