About Breast Cancer Campaign
Breast Cancer Campaign’s mission is to beat breast cancer by funding innovative world-class research to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.
Where do we come from?
Campaign was established in 1988 with the aim of researching the cure for breast cancer. The charity aims to be the leading specialist in breast cancer research across the UK and Ireland, making a significant impact on breast cancer for the benefit of patients.
What differentiates Campaign from other charities?
Campaign only funds research into breast cancer and will support research at any centre of excellence in the UK and Ireland. The charity has a particular interest in supporting innovative research and will fund the best breast cancer research in the UK and Ireland, providing that it is of the highest quality.
Read more about what type of research Campaign funds.
How does Campaign decide which research to fund?
Campaign's Scientific Advisory Board, composed of prominent breast cancer experts coupled with the advice of hundreds of scientists and doctors, ensure that the research the charity funds is of the highest calibre and will further our knowledge of breast cancer.

Why do we use the jigsaw logo?
Our logo is the jigsaw piece because it symbolises the missing pieces of the puzzle that is the cure for breast cancer. In the same way that breast cancer is not one disease, there will not be one cure. Each research project is another piece of the puzzle that we hope will ultimately offer all women with breast cancer effective diagnosis and treatment and eventually help us prevent the disease.
