How your fundraising helps people affected by TNBC

Your fundraising helps The UK Charity for TNBC support people affected specifically by TNBC. 100% of every donation directly supports our TNBC-focused work, providing trusted TNBC information, developing patient resources, educating healthcare professionals, sharing real voices of those affected by TNBC, and advocating for better TNBC care and recognition across the UK.

  • Trusted TNBC information for patients and families

    Your fundraising helps us provide comprehensive, easy to understand and reliable TNBC-specific information for people affected by triple negative breast cancer via our website. Our information is developed with clinical expertise and organised around different stages of TNBC diagnosis.

  • Patient leaflets for primary and metastatic TNBC

    We produce patient leaflets for primary or early TNBC and metastatic or advanced TNBC, developed with clinical input and shaped by people with lived experience. With your support, we aim to make these leaflets available in every cancer hospital, clinic and waiting room across the UK.

  • TNBC education for healthcare professionals

    Through our TNBC Champions programme, we help breast care nurse specialists learn more about TNBC through webinars and provide access to TNBC-specific resources to help them better support their patients.

  • Advocacy shaped by people with lived experience

    Our Patient Advisory Panel brings together people with lived experience of TNBC to guide our information, education and engagement with partners involved in research, treatment development, guidance and policymaking.

  • Building connections across the TNBC community

    We help people affected by TNBC connect with others who understand what they are going through, both online and in person. Through our online community forum, social media communities and in-person Patient Advisory Panel events, people affected by all different stages of TNBC can share experiences, ask questions, exchange advice, build relationships, and feel less alone.

  • Raising awareness of triple negative breast cancer

    We represent the TNBC community across the UK and internationally, raising awareness and advocating for better recognition, care and treatment. By listening to and amplifying the voices of people affected by TNBC, we help build greater understanding of the specific needs, experiences and challenges linked to TNBC.
