As the leading voice for breast cancer in Ireland, we are delighted to introduce the first comprehensive report about the impact that our charity delivers.
Since Breast Cancer Ireland’s inception in 2012, research into breast cancer, public awareness of the disease, diagnosis and treatment have all improved dramatically. Incredibly, over this relatively short time-period, survival rates have increased from 73% to 88%, with mortality rates reducing 2% year on year.
Over €40 million has been raised by us and our amazing supporters, enabling a range of work to take place nationally and internationally. As part of our complimentary education and awareness programme, our dedicated team has met with over 170,000 people, across schools, companies and community groups to educate them about breast good breast health.
