Stay Connected with Our WhatsApp Groups
Support and connection between meetings...
Many of our in-person Keeping Abreast support groups also have their own WhatsApp group, helping members stay connected between meetings.
These groups provide an informal and supportive space to share information, ask questions, arrange meet-ups and stay in touch with others who understand.
Our WhatsApp groups can help you:
- Stay connected with your local support group
- Find out about upcoming meetings and events
- Share useful information and experiences
- Connect with others between group meetings
- Arrange informal catch-ups and activities
- Offer and receive peer support
Our WhatsApp groups are linked to local Keeping Abreast support groups and provide another way to stay connected with your community.

About Us
Keeping Abreast was established in September 2007 by patients Anna Beckingham and Beverley Birritteri and Breast Reconstruction nurse specialist Ruth Harcourt. They recognised a great need for women, both newly diagnosed with breast cancer and facing the possibility of mastectomy, and also women further down the line who are also considering reconstructive surgery, to be able to meet and talk to other women who have been through similar experiences. This allows women make an informed choice about whether or not to proceed with breast reconstruction.
