Beat Breast Cancer runs a strict 100% donation policy. Every pound you give goes towards equipment and research for NHS breast cancer units, never towards admin, never towards wages. We're a family-run charity, volunteer-led from day one, and to date we've put over £40,400 into seven NHS trusts across the UK, from our first grant in Blackburn to a new one at Basildon Hospital this June.
Give what you can below, one-off or monthly. Every gift joins the same pool that funds the next piece of equipment a breast unit needs.

Here's the honest version, not the brochure version. Every penny donated through this page is pooled with our other donor income and directed as a grant, usually somewhere between £2,000 and £10,000, to an NHS breast unit that needs new equipment or is supporting a research project. Nothing is taken out for fundraising costs or admin before it gets there.
The cost of actually running Beat Breast Cancer, our website, insurance, the admin that comes with being a registered charity, is covered separately and never comes out of a donation. Our trustees aren't paid, and the charity is run by volunteers. That's not a slogan, it's how the books are kept, and it's why a £25 gift funds £25 of equipment, not £20 of equipment and £5 of overhead.
Because donations are pooled rather than ring-fenced to one hospital in advance, we can't promise your specific gift goes to a specific trust. What we can promise is that it goes into the same fund that has already reached seven NHS trusts, and that we publish every grant we make, with the amount, the date and the hospital, so you can check the record for yourself.

If you're a UK taxpayer, ticking the Gift Aid box turns every £1 you give into £1.25 for us, and it costs you nothing extra. On a £50 donation that's an extra £12.50 of equipment funding, just for confirming you pay UK tax. Donorbox handles the declaration as part of the checkout, it takes a few seconds.
A financial donation isn't the only way to help fund equipment for NHS breast units.

If you're a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid lets us reclaim the tax already paid on your donation, adding 25p for every £1 you give, at no extra cost to you. A £20 donation becomes £25 for the cause. You tick a box during checkout, that's the whole process.
Both. The donation form above lets you choose one-off or monthly. Monthly donors get a free donor account so you can manage, pause or change your gift at any time, details are emailed to you automatically.
Not for individual online donations. We pool donor income and direct it as full grants to the NHS trusts with the greatest need at the time, which is how a £2,300 gift and a £10,000 gift end up funding equipment side by side. If you're planning a larger corporate or in-memory gift and would like to discuss directing it to a specific trust, get in touch and we'll talk it through.
Yes, we're a registered UK charity. We publish every grant we make on our donations page, including the hospital, the amount and the date, so you can see exactly where the money has gone.
You can send a cheque or arrange a bank transfer (see other ways to give above), or donate clothes, bras, or shop through our V2 Classic partnership instead.
Seven NHS trusts have already had equipment and research funded because someone decided to give. The next grant is already being planned, and your donation, whatever the size, helps decide how far it stretches.
