Notice of Closure of the Breast Friends Charity
The Breast Friends Charity Reg. no. 1059584 will be closing at the end of September 2024. Therefore please cease regular donations to the Breast Friends Account by standing order or direct debit as soon as possible.
Although the Charity is closing and will no longer be funded, WhatsApp pages and regular Lotus and makeup and skincare workshops will continue. Breast friends volunteers will continue to offer patients emotional support at the St Giles Centre, Lindridge Road, Sutton Coldfield, B75 6JB. Meetings on 12 August and 9 September will go ahead as planned.
The Committee of Breast Friends hope that we have been able to give breast and secondary cancer patients a better quality of life over the 28 years we have been running the Charity.
