How To Check

Who we are

We’re CoppaFeel!, the UK’s only youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity. We exist because breast cancer doesn’t wait until you’re older to show up, and too many young people don’t know the signs, don’t check regularly, or don’t feel confident advocating for themselves with a GP.

We’re here to change that – one chest check at a time.

Why checking matters

Checking your chest regularly means you get to know what’s normal for you. And knowing what’s normal means you’ll notice faster if something changes. The earlier breast cancer is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.

Ready to start?  Check your chest with our Self-Checkout, set a reminder so you never forget, or find out more about what we do and why it matters.
