Help Us Bring the Pilot to Life

BreastBuddy UK is a lived experience-led initiative helping improve connection, support and wellbeing throughout the cancer journey.

Launching the Pilot

We're launching a pilot programme for 10 patients designed to explore how better connection, guidance and community can help reduce isolation, treatment overwhelm and uncertainty, helping ensure that no one navigates cancer without light, structure and support.

The Story Behind BreastBuddy UK

I remember sitting in the treatment room. I was told my diagnosis. Then I was told my treatment plan. The plan was there to save my life, and I will always be grateful for that. But alongside it, I felt overwhelmed. There was so much information, so much uncertainty, and very little that felt within my control. BreastBuddy UK was born from that moment.

During treatment, I discovered something equally powerful: connection. An old school friend was diagnosed just days apart from me and quickly became my "Breast Buddy". Together, we shared experiences, supported one another through treatment and recovery, and never felt quite so alone. That connection became one of the most valuable parts of my journey.

BreastBuddy UK brings together those two experiences, the need for greater clarity at diagnosis and the power of connection throughout recovery.
The NHS looks after your treatment. BreastBuddy UK supports everything around it.
