## Organisational boilerplate

Standard description (short)

Breast Cancer Charity is a campaign of World Aid Network, funding free breast cancer screening, community education and treatment access in low-income communities. It is a screening and treatment-access charity, not a cancer research charity and not a UK helpline. Charity Commission registration is in progress (application 5290505). ICO ZC156579.

Extended description

Breast Cancer Charity is a fundraising and awareness campaign of World Aid Network, London. The campaign funds mobile screening, community education and treatment access where organised programmes do not reach. Clinical copy is desk-assessed against NHS and WHO guidance — not a named clinician review unless we say so. We do not publish live “lives saved” or “women screened” counters until partner reports exist; see breastcancer-charity.org/your-impact/. ICO ZC156579. Charity Commission application 5290505 — we do not claim registered-charity status.
