A campaign of World Aid Network
About Breast Cancer Charity
A UK screening and treatment-access charity — not a cancer research charity and not a UK helpline.
Breast Cancer Charity is a campaign managed by World Aid Network, London, supporting breast awareness, screening and treatment access in underserved communities. We also publish breast health information and signpost UK support services. Charity Commission registration is in progress.
Who this is for: people who want to know who we are, how we relate to World Aid Network, and whether a donation funds exams or laboratory research.
Who this is not for: donors seeking laboratory research grants; anyone needing a helpline after a UK diagnosis (start at Breast Cancer Support); NHS mammogram booking. 020 4622 0003 is the office number for donations.
Our mission
Why does Breast Cancer Charity exist?
UK five-year survival is almost 90%. In settings without organised screening it can fall toward around 40%. The disease is the same. Access is not. We fund exams and treatment access abroad — not laboratory research.
Breast Cancer Charity is a campaign managed by World Aid Network, a London-based international development organisation. We fund the practical interventions that shift diagnosis from late to early: mobile screening units, community education led by local health educators, and treatment access support for women who cannot afford care.
Donations are deployed to programme work — screening, diagnosis and treatment access — through vetted local partners in communities where survival rates are lowest and need is greatest.
What we do
What does Breast Cancer Charity fund?
Free Screening
We fund mobile breast cancer screening units and trained community health educators who bring clinical breast examinations to women in underserved areas who have never been examined. Early detection saves lives.
Community Education
We fund structured awareness sessions that teach women how to self-examine, recognise warning signs, and know when to seek help. Knowledge delivered by trusted local voices, in local languages.
Treatment Access
A diagnosis is only the beginning. We fund treatment access — covering surgery costs, chemotherapy courses, hormone therapy and diagnostic tests — for women who cannot afford care.
The organisation
Who runs Breast Cancer Charity?
World Aid Network is a London-based international development organisation working to improve access to healthcare and education in underserved communities. The Breast Cancer Charity campaign is one of a portfolio of health programmes operated by World Aid Network, focused on closing the global survival gap in breast cancer through practical, evidence-based interventions.
We are not a clinical service. We fund the infrastructure — the community educators, the mobile units, the diagnostic access — that allows clinical care to reach women who would otherwise have no pathway to it.
