There are many ways to support Keeping Abreast and make a real difference for women facing breast cancer. As a charity, we proactively fundraise to provide vital post-operative support, from help with mental health, post-surgical bras, childcare, travel costs, and home care, to guidance on pre-op exercise and weight management.
Every donation, large or small, helps women make informed decisions about mastectomy, breast reconstruction, and related procedures while supporting them through recovery.

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.
