5 Breast Cancer Now An Overview of the Charity We re Breast Cancer Now, the UK s largest breast cancer charity. Established in April 2015 following the merger of Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer we have an annual turnover of 27.6 million and a headcount of 165. We are based in London with offices in Edinburgh and operate across the UK. We also fund research in Ireland and have just opened a grant round to main land Europe. We bring together patients and supporters with researchers and healthcare professionals and everyone else affected by the disease to fund world-class research and drive progress in the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer. To do this we: Support nearly 400 of the UK and Ireland s brightest researchers; Promote public health awareness campaigns that reach millions; Develop and deliver hard-hitting policy work and campaigning on behalf of patients and their families; Raise valuable income through our fundraising teams to ensure our work continues. Right now breast cancer is at a tipping point. More women are surviving, but more are being diagnosed than ever before. One in eight women in the UK will face breast cancer in their lifetime and every 45 minutes, another woman dies from the disease. Our cutting-edge research is focused entirely on breast cancer and we believe that if we all act now, by 2050, no one who develops breast cancer will die from it. But we ll only reach that point by working in a new, collaborative way. Right now, we re funding over 26 million worth of ground-breaking research projects, supporting nearly 400 of the world s brightest researchers at more than 30 institutions across the UK and Ireland. Together, they re working to discover how to prevent breast cancer, how to detect it earlier and how to treat it effectively at every stage so we can stop the disease taking lives. We re also committed to nurturing talent and encouraging potential by championing PhD students and those at the start of their breast cancer research careers. It means we re combining prestige with pioneer, expert with innovator, to tackle the disease from all angles. It means we ll always stay one step ahead. Our Research Centre in London established in partnership with the Institute of Cancer Research, the first of its kind in the UK, houses over 100 researchers across eight multidisciplinary teams. 5

6 For every 1 we invest in research at the Research Centre, our researchers bring in another 2. Our Tissue Bank opened in 2012 as the UK s first ever national breast cancer tissue bank. It currently makes tens of thousands samples from patients available to researchers across the UK and Ireland. These samples are vital to helping our researchers understand in exact detail how breast cancer develops and interacts with surrounding tissues in the body. But research on its own isn t enough. Everything we do is rooted in the realities of women and men affected by breast cancer. We re the catalyst that connects the laboratory bench with the hospital bedside, the GP s office, the MP s surgery and the policies that govern our health service. And it s only by working together that we ll truly make an impact on this devastating disease. Every aspect of our work supports our aim to end this disease s power over our lives. Through our policy work, we take the discoveries we make in the lab and work tirelessly to make sure that progress improves the lives of everyone affected by breast cancer whether that s campaigning for an innovative new treatment to be made available on the NHS or promoting proven ways to reduce the risk of the disease in public health messaging. Our campaigns make the voices of patients and their families heard. We work with the health service to champion patients needs and improve the services they re offered. Our effective public health campaigns are designed to give everyone impartial, evidenced information about breast cancer, its treatments, the signs and symptoms, and the risk factors for the disease. By arming women with the facts, we empower them to take action. If we all act now, we believe that by 2050 everyone who develops breast cancer will live and live well. We need to invest at least 300 million in research over the next 10 years if we re to achieve these ambitious goals. Further Information about Breast Cancer Now can be found at: and 6
