This August, the Customer Operations team at VWFS is proudly coming together to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer support, education, and research.

While October is traditionally Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve chosen to run our campaign now so we can spread awareness throughout the year, make it cost-effective for our colleagues, and align with our upcoming Movember men’s health campaign later in the year.

We’re raising money for three amazing charities, each playing a different but vital role in the fight against breast cancer:

Milton Keynes Hospital Charity

A charity close to home, MKHC supports the Cancer Centre at Milton Keynes University Hospital, funding essential services, equipment, and comfort items to make treatment and diagnosis a little bit easier for local patients and families.

CoppaFeel!

This bold and empowering charity is all about early detection and education – encouraging people (especially young people) to check their chests regularly and confidently. Their mission is to ensure breast cancer is diagnosed early and accurately, giving the best possible chance of survival.

Breast Cancer Now

As the UK’s leading breast cancer research and support charity, Breast Cancer Now is focused on funding lifesaving research, offering support services, and driving improvements in diagnosis and care. They’re working towards a future where everyone diagnosed with breast cancer lives – and is supported to live well.

We believe it’s important to donate to a range of organisations – from local impact to national research – to ensure our support reaches as far and wide as possible.

We’ll be splitting the total raised evenly between these three charities

Together, we can help fund research, improve treatment experiences, and save lives – through education, support, and real change.
