About Us

Who Are CoppaFeel!?

We are the first breast cancer charity in the UK to solely create awareness amongst young people, with the aim of instilling the knowledge and tools they need to get to know their bodies. We like to talk about a serious message in a light-hearted way, empowering people to start healthy habits for life.

We believe in committed, hard work which delivers results. We are problem solvers who have proven time and time again that you can get good results from small means.

COMMUNITY

Collectively with our supporters, CoppaFeel! has a voice far greater than our size. We will always remember that together we are greater than the sum of our parts.

We’re not like other charities. We are not afraid to challenge existing ways of doing things, think in unconventional ways and experiment – all for good reason. Making mistakes is the privilege of the active.

POSITIVITY

We want to be a force for positive change and create a lasting impact on the world. We talk about a serious message in a light hearted, proactive & empowering way.
