CoppaFeel! Challenge
Check out CoppaFeel!’s new challenge, a challenge specifically for students, where they spread our life-saving chest-checking message and gaining valuable skills & prizes!
What is the CoppaFeel! Challenge?
The CoppaFeel! Challenge is a one week awareness challenge created specifically for students at sixth form and colleges. Working together as a team of 5, you will work to develop a breast cancer awareness campaign. The aim of your campaign? Spread CoppaFeel!’s breast cancer awareness and checking message – we want young people to know that breast cancer is relevant to them and that they should be checking their chest regularly. You can do this through a traditional, digital or social media campaign – it’s your choice. We just want you to engage your peers with creative and engaging content that puts the importance of chest checking in the spotlight.
With our training and resources, you’ve got one week during November to reach as many young people and get them to complete CoppaFeel!’s Self-Checkout. You’ll be competing with local schools in your area and the team with the highest number of users to the Self-Checkout will be crowned the winners! But for the runners up, don’t worry, they will still be winning prizes!
"What I enjoyed most about the Coppafeel campaign was the opportunity to connect with so many people and spark important conversations about breast cancer awareness. Delivering assemblies and interacting with students and teachers made me feel like we were making a real difference in our school community."![]()
Students - why get involved?
- Prizes: This year the challenge will take place in Manchester and South East London – there will be a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner in each city! Winners of the CoppaFeel! Challenge will bag iPads, second place will get £100 vouchers and third place will get £50 vouchers.
- Become a changemaker & make a difference: Educate, raise awareness, and inspire positive change. Help more young people become aware of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage them to perform regular chest checks, and empower them to speak to their GP if they notice anything unusual. Early diagnosis saves lives.

"I loved getting to work together with my friends on a project that we've all had personal experiences with. It's helped me to understand how to run a successful campaign and as an aspiring designer I've loved developing my design skills within the guidelines. It was a great challenge!"![]()
