Every year around 55,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. With breast cancer now one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide, the role of charities is more important than ever in providing support services to those affected by cancer, raising awareness and undertaking research. October is #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and in support, Brevio has launched the #BrevioGoesPink campaign to team up with breast cancer charities, showcase their important work and help them secure vital funding.

Here are 11 charities you can support during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month: CANCER UNITED is dedicated to making health and wellbeing support available to those going through cancer treatment, including specially designed fitness classes. Founder Jan Sheward formed the charity after experiencing first hand the lack of support available when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Cancer Research funds scientists, doctors and nurses to undertake research and help beat cancer sooner. Their research has found that 23% of breast cancer cases could be preventable - that’s almost 13,000 avoidable breast cancer diagnoses every year.
