Our charity is nothing without the people who make up it’s community. Collectively with our supporters, staff, patrons, trustees and advisory groups, CoppaFeel! has a voice far greater than our size. Meet the people who keep the boob world spinning.
What started as a small group of friends around Kris’ kitchen table has now turned into a team of over 30. CoppaFeel! is made up of four departments: Education, Marketing, Fundraising and Operations.

"At CoppaFeel! the ways of working are there to aid working, not force it. You're able to work in the way that best suits your productivity and needs - leading to more focused and smart working. The CoppaFeel! working culture is one which is genuinely supportive and is developed by the employees , for the employees."
CoppaFeel! was founded in 2009 by twin sisters Kris and Maren Hallenga – after Kris was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer at the age of 23. Since then we’ve grown from a determined duo based in Kris and Maren’s living room to a full team housed at Boob Towers in South London. This lot are obsessed with boobs, but for a very good reason.

"The flexibility of CoppaFeel!'s hybrid way of working has been a breath of fresh air for my mental health. Waking up in the morning knowing I don't have to be in work for a specific time instantly calms my anxiety and I'm ready to face the day."
