Navigating Gene Mutations Together

LFS (TP53), PALB2, ATM, CHEK2, lynch…

We are a UK charity that supports anyone navigating a gene alteration predisposing them to cancer (BRCA, LFS (TP53), PALB2, ATM, CHEK2, lynch…).

Whether you are considering testing, already been tested, diagnosed with cancer, or someone wanting to help your family or friend – we can help you.

We provide monthly online webinars and peer support groups with a plethora of different subjects. Charity volunteers (our BRCA+ Babes) also host socials across the country for you to meet up with other individuals in a similar situation to you.

Our friendly resources give you information and raise awareness. If you are due to have a mastectomy, you can browse our online gallery to see what other post-mastectomy bodies look like.

Run by BRCA+ individuals, our vision is close to our heart – we believe no one should have to go through this alone.
