A man in his fifties has a 1 in 11 chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. A boy born in 2015 will have a 1 in 7 chance. We need to act NOW. Help support our research for a future without prostate cancer.



CoppaFeel logo

We exist to educate and remind every 18-30 year old in the UK that checking their boobs isn't only fun, it could save their life. How do we do this? By targetting music lovers at festivals and students at Universities. We garner corporate support to co-brand. We launch captivating national awareness campaigns that help us get amazing PR. We organise events that are fun and inspiring. We engage fellow young breast cancer survivors to be our voice and we pester famous faces to help us reach an even wider audience. We're like a friendly bop on the head when you least expect it. Awareness is at the core of our operation. You won't find us shaking a bucket on the streets, but we will be there asking you when you last checked your boobs. Reg No 1132366
