Helpful Information

We are a local `grass roots’ self funded group that provides assistance to residents on the Tomaree Peninsula who are Breast Cancer patients.

All funds raised or donated to our group stay in the Tomaree area and are used to support people living in the Tomaree Peninsula with Breast Cancer.

All our Services are free to the patients; all costs are covered via our fundraising and generous donations from local businesses and residents.  

We have Monthly Get Togethers for those we have assisted to meet together in a happy environment, sharing experiences with our Volunteer Drivers and others on their Breast Cancer Journey.  On completion of treatment we celebrate with a commemorative gift.

Our get togethers are at Cafe Kin, the last Thursday of the month Feb - Nov at 10am.
