> What a donation funds: £25 screening, £75 biopsy, £150 hormone therapy, £500 surgical access. Counters stay at zero until partner reports exist.

Transparent & measurable

£25 funds one complete screening; £75 covers a biopsy and diagnostic work-up; £150 provides one month of hormone therapy; £500 supports surgical access for one patient. Live programme headcounts stay at zero until partner reports are filed.

## Quick answer

Every pound maps to a field outcome: £25 funds one complete screening, £75 a biopsy, £150 one month of hormone therapy, £500 surgical access. That is treatment access, not laboratory research. Headcounts stay at zero until partner reports are published.

**Who this is for:** donors who want itemised unit costs and an honest line about what we have not yet counted.

**Who this is not for:** donors seeking laboratory cancer-research grants; anyone expecting a personal NHS mammogram booking; anyone wanting a live “lives saved” ticker we refuse to invent.

## Why are the impact counters at zero?

Programme headcounts stay at zero until partner reports are filed. Absence of a counter is not evidence of absence of work — it is a refusal to publish a marketing number. Unit costs below are planning estimates.

🔍 £25

### One Full Breast Cancer Screening

A woman who has never been examined receives a free clinical breast exam and ultrasound scan at a mobile screening unit. For many of the women we reach, it will be the first medical examination of any kind they have ever had.

- Clinical breast examination
- Ultrasound scan
- Referral coordination if needed

[Donate £25](https://breastcancer-charity.org/donate/) 🏥 £75

### Biopsy + Diagnostic Work-Up

When a screening detects something concerning, a biopsy confirms whether cancer is present. Without your funding, a woman who has finally found a lump and sought help may be unable to afford the next step.

- Core needle biopsy procedure
- Full pathology lab analysis
- Results and treatment referral

[Donate £75](https://breastcancer-charity.org/donate/) 💊 £150

### One Month of Hormone Therapy

In the UK the NHS subsidises tamoxifen to near-zero for patients. In a low-income setting with no subsidised supply chain, £150 covers a month of real treatment access — local private drug cost, oncologist consultation, monitoring labs, and transport/coordination — not the UK pharmacy sticker price alone.

- Drug at local private price (portion of £150)
- Oncologist consultation & monitoring
- Transport and follow-up coordination

[Donate £150](https://breastcancer-charity.org/donate/) 🩺 £500

### Surgical Access Support

Reaching the operating table is only possible if a woman can get to the hospital, stay near it, and meet co-payments. Your donation funds the practical bridge from diagnosis to life-saving surgery for one patient.

- Transport and accommodation
- Surgery co-payment support
- Post-operative follow-through

Impact at a glance

| Amount | Funds | Detail |
| --- | --- | --- |
| £25 | One complete breast cancer screening | Clinical breast exam, ultrasound scan and health education |
| £75 | Biopsy and full diagnostic work-up | Core needle biopsy and pathology analysis |
| £150 | One month of hormone therapy | Tamoxifen or equivalent stage-appropriate treatment |
| £500 | Surgical access support | Transport, co-payments and follow-through for one patient |

### Why £150 for one month of hormone therapy?

In the UK the NHS subsidises tamoxifen to near-zero. Overseas, without a subsidised supply chain, a month of treatment means drug + clinic + monitoring + getting there. Illustrative split (trustee-reviewed; update quarterly):

| Line item | Approx. |
| --- | --- |
| Drug at local private price | £40 |
| Oncologist consultation | £45 |
| Monitoring / labs | £35 |
| Transport & coordination | £30 |

How donations are deployed

## How are donations deployed?

Donations are deployed across three interconnected programmes, each addressing a critical point in the journey from risk to survival.

01

### Community Education

Community health educators — trained and employed locally — deliver breast cancer awareness sessions in villages, community centres and places of worship. Women learn to self-examine, identify warning signs, and understand that treatment exists and is effective.

Local languages Sessions led by community educators — not a live attendance counter 02

### Mobile Screening Units

Fitted vehicles travel to communities with no local clinic. Women receive clinical breast examinations, ultrasound scans, and, where indicated, referrals for further testing. The unit returns regularly to maintain continuity of care.

500+ Screenings targeted this phase (a target, not a live counter) 03

### Treatment Access

Diagnosis is not the end. For women from remote communities, reaching specialist treatment centres requires transport, accommodation and money most do not have. We fund the practical bridge between diagnosis and survival.

The human reality

## Are these real patient stories?

Composite stories representing the real experiences of women in the communities we work in. No real patient data is used.

🌟 Composite — rural late presentation Representative journey, underserved region

"A labelled composite: a woman attends a community awareness session, later notices a breast change, seeks clinic care she would not have sought before, and begins treatment after an earlier-stage diagnosis than is typical without outreach."

Illustrative: awareness → earlier presentation 💪 Composite — first screening Representative journey, no prior screening access

"A labelled composite: free clinical exam and ultrasound at a mobile unit find a concerning lump; biopsy confirms early-stage disease; surgery follows. Names are not real individuals."

Illustrative: screening → diagnosis → treatment 🌸 Composite — cost barrier Representative journey, limited diagnostic access

"A labelled composite: symptoms noticed for over a year; subsidised diagnostics finally make a clinic visit possible; Stage 1 diagnosis and treatment begin. Not a specific patient record."

Illustrative: subsidised access → earlier stage
