£25 · One woman · One complete screening

How do I fund a mammogram through a breast cancer charity?

Your £25 gift funds one complete breast cancer screening for a woman who has never been examined — clinical breast exam, ultrasound and health education in a partner community overseas.

Quick answer

Donate £25 at breastcancer-charity.org/donate/. That gift funds one complete screening overseas — clinical breast exam, ultrasound and health education — for a woman who has never been examined. We do not book NHS or private UK mammograms. Not laboratory research.

Who this is for: donors who want a clear £25 unit cost for one complete screening abroad.

Who this is not for: anyone wanting us to book or pay for an NHS or private UK mammogram; people under the invitation age seeking an NHS letter we cannot issue; laboratory research donors; helpline seekers (use Breast Cancer Support).

£25 is our published unit cost for one complete screening pathway: a clinical breast exam, ultrasound, and health education. Mammography is used where partners have equipment. It is not a UK clinic fee and not a named-patient photograph.

Is this an NHS mammogram?

No. NHS England invites eligible women aged 50 up to your 71st birthday every 3 years. We do not book those appointments. This gift funds an exam overseas for a woman who will never receive that letter.

UK private prices are a different market — see private mammogram cost. The longer campaign essay is the Free Breast Cancer Screening Campaign.

How is this different from the free screening appeal?

This page is the £25 product. The appeal is the in-depth fundraising page for the same unit cost. Use either. Add a checkout note if you want the gift marked for the campaign.

Donate at breastcancer-charity.org/donate (Stripe checkout — Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted) or email [email protected] / call 020 4622 0003.

What happens after the exam?

If something concerning is found, the same programme pool funds the next published steps — biopsy at £75, hormone therapy support, surgical access — so the screening is not a dead end. Details stay on your impact. We do not invent quarterly partner audit scores on this page.

Setting Cost to Patient Access Mechanism Stage at Diagnosis
UK NHS Screening £0 (Free) Invitation letter every 3 years (ages 50–71 in England). Often found earlier because organised screening exists.
UK Private Clinic Typically £150–£300 Self-funded appointment. We do not book these. Varies. Not our service.
Overseas, no programme Often unaffordable £25 donor-funded mobile exam via partners. Typically later without organised screening.

Is this the same as an NHS mammogram?
No. NHS England invites eligible women aged 50 up to your 71st birthday every 3 years. That programme is already free. We fund exams for women who will never receive that letter. Symptomatic changes in the UK still belong with a GP — do not wait for screening.

Yes. On the donate page choose Monthly. A regular £25 gift helps partners plan clinics. Cancel any time in Stripe.

Not as a live counter. Headcounts stay at zero on /your-impact/ until partner reports exist. We will not invent a running total on this page.
