Breast Cancer Haven
Mission Statement
Being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing treatment affects a patient both physically and emotionally. Breast Cancer Haven offers a free programme of care to help patients and those supporting them during this difficult time. Havens are welcoming day centres staffed by a specialist team who provide support, information and complementary therapies before, during and after medical treatment.
With over 45,500 cases of breast cancer diagnosed in the UK every year, more Havens are needed. Working alongside the NHS and other healthcare professionals Breast Cancer Haven will create a network of Havens providing integrated breast cancer care where conventional and complementary medicine can work together. We currently have Havens in London, Hereford and Leeds. It costs the charity just over £1,000 for each person cared for at a Haven and in the absence of any government funding, the charity is dependent on charitable donations and fundraising events to continue delivering this vital service and to build new Havens.
