activity for.
Share your support
With your help we can show how mighty our small charity can be! Whether you do 10 steps
or 10,000, know you are contributing to a
national network of people dedicated to supporting those facing Breast Cancer
Reconstruction... and we think that's something worth
shouting about!
To help drum up those essential donations and help us to raise
awareness, share your steps, skips, jumps - however
you move - on socials using the #stepuptosupportKA and tag us @keepingabreast.
We'd
love to see your photos, reels and hear your
stories from the week.
What your support means
Our valued volunteers
We couldn't do what we do without you, our amazing volunteers. We aim to connect our community as often as we can but, with such a small team, this can be hard. We have over 200+ volunteers nationwide from Leicester, Liverpool, Norfolk, Herts & Beds, Bristol & Bath and beyond! Your involvement in our challenge, we hope, though not physically but virtually brings you closer to your fellow volunteers and lets you know you're a valued part of something bigger!
Continuing our personal support
As you know, the funds we raise are essential to keeping us going and continuing the personalised support we offer. Whether it's a little or a lot, every contribution helps. Just like every step you take, every pound you raise adds up to something powerful. If each of us raises even a small amount, together we can achieve something amazing! £7.15 (roughly the price of two coffees) can send one pink information pack to a hospital, informing someone newly diagnosed of our support services. For those who can, £25 helps keep our little office running for roughly an hours support coordination and £58 sends one of our lovingly prepared Comfort and Care Bags to someone going into surgery — full of thoughtful, essential items to help them feel cared for and supported. Every single donation helps us reach more people, raise awareness, and remind those facing breast cancer that they don't have to go through it alone.
