Fundraising and the support of our community help us to keep going. Every event, donation, and act of kindness enables us to be there for breast cancer patients when they need us most — offering real experiences, honest guidance, and compassionate, practical support. Together, our community ensures no one faces breast cancer reconstruction in isolation, uncertainty, or fear.

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.
