Prevent every
breast cancer

Powering the research that saves lives

Breast cancer still affects 55,000 families a year. Not just some breast cancers. Every breast cancer. We're building the research engine to make that possible.

This is a moment to change what happens next — and fewer families facing breast cancer starts here.

The challenge

We've only scratched the surface

More than 55,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK. Too many mothers, daughters, and sisters. Too many families changed forever.

Not just some breast cancers. Every breast cancer. That is our ambition — and we've only scratched the surface of what prevention science can achieve.

55,000+
new diagnoses each year in the UK
11,500
lives lost every year

Why now

For the first time,
prevention is within reach.

The science is ready — data and technology now make prevention possible
The momentum is building — accelerating life-saving advances faster than ever
This is the pivotal moment to act — finding answers faster, reaching breakthroughs sooner

This only happens with people like you behind it.

The impact

What this makes possible

Fewer families facing breast cancer. More lives protected. This is what Prevent Every Breast Cancer means in practice — and why every supporter makes a difference.

This is how we stop breast cancer before it starts. Fewer families facing breast cancer — that's the outcome we're working towards.

Prevent Breast Cancer has been powering the research that saves lives since 1996, investing over £5 million into the science of prevention. The only UK charity focused entirely on stopping breast cancer before it starts.

This only happens
