Education and Awareness

Breast Cancer Ireland seeks to promote good breast health amongst women of all ages across Ireland. With a carefully developed, free of charge programme, we provide education to transition year students, teachers, companies, sporting and community groups nationally.

The Breast Health and Education Awareness Programme aims to educate women of all ages about the importance of good breast health. Should an abnormality occur, it will be identified early and the treatment outcome will be a lot more positive.

How does it work? This complimentary service consists of a visit from a Breast Cancer Ireland Outreach Coordinator who will demonstrate, with a medical mannequin, how to perform a self-breast examination, and the 8 signs and symptoms to look out for.

2023 Report

In the current year 2022/2023, our Outreach team has presented across Ireland, both in-person and virtually, to over 35,000 people – 20,000 students, 7,000 INTO teachers and almost 8,200 employees and members of various community and sporting groups.

Breast Cancer Ireland is here for everyone, and so we were proud, this term, to bring the outreach programme to minority ethnic groups such as the Traveller and Roma communities as well as Women’s Sheds and to those with intellectual and physical disabilities. We plan on a further extension of the programme, with the aim of reaching as many people as we can across the community.
