Ladies fighting Breast Cancer

We are here for those dealing with the life-changing breast cancer diagnosis; which includes supporters, family and friends, who may be struggling with the impacts, emotions and challenges that breast cancer diagnosis can create.

From providing critical community care, through our BreastMates Central Facebook Group, our Ladies Fighting Breast Cancer Choir and our Hugs-In-A-Bag initiative (providing practical items for women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy), we are here for you.

Whether you’re a fighter, survivor or supporter, you’ll find your place within our warm, welcoming community.We believe nobody should have to face breast cancer alone.

Creating a community

LFBC provide Drop-In Centre services, both offsite and online, FREE of charge for anyone who with a breast cancer diagnosis.Whether you have just received your diagnosis, in treatment or in remission… we are here for you.

Breastmates Central

Our closed Facebook Group has hundreds of women who meet regularly (every Tuesday from 12 noon and every Thursday from 11am) online to share, care and support. We also run special video coffee mornings for women aged under 30, as well as late evening sessions for those who cannot attend during the day. We can offer 1-2-1 sessions on request too.

As well as support services, we also provide online events; and when possible, the group meets in coffee shops across the region.

Hugs-In-A-Bag

Attending your first chemotherapy or radiotherapy session can be extremely daunting. Especially if you have to attend alone.

That’s why we created our Hug-In-A-Bag initiative. We wanted to create a useful, practical resource which would provide everything a women might need during these aggressive, yet critically important treatments. The bags contain ‘common-sense’ items such as a water bottle, moisturiser and a good book. It also contains less ‘obvious’ items including a fleece blanket (as the treatments can impact body temperature dramatically), and nail varnish (to hide the discolouration that the treatments can trigger).

LFBC provides these bags FREE of charge to men and women across the region; we can deliver direct to you or a loved one and we also work with fourteen hospitals across the West Midlands, providing a stock of bags so that the Breast Care nurses can gift them to even more men and women.

In one year LFBC provided more than 600 bags and we are determined that as long as we can raise the funds, we will continue to provide this ‘virtual hug’ to as many of the thousands of women diagnosed with breast cancer in the West Midlands every year, as possible.
