CoppaFeel! Challenge

What is the CoppaFeel! Challenge?

The CoppaFeel! Challenge is a one week awareness challenge created for students in sixth form and colleges.

Working together as a team, your students will develop and deliver a breast cancer awareness campaign.

The aim of the campaign? Spread CoppaFeel!’s breast cancer awareness and chest-checking message. We want young people to know that breast cancer is relevant to them and that they should be checking their chest regularly.

During the 2026 Autumn Term, your students will get one week to reach as many young people as possible and get them to complete CoppaFeel!’s Self-Checkout.

Your students will be competing with other schools/colleges. The team with the highest number of users to The Self-Checkout will be crowned the winners and will receive a prize!

"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."

- Elena, 2024 CoppaFeel! Challenge Participant

Criteria

Aged 16-19

Studying in a sixth form or college in years 12-13 (or equivalent)

Students must have a teacher/educator ‘sponsor’. This simply means that teams must have a member of staff that can provide students with some support if they need it. This could be providing a classroom for their meetings, booking assembly halls or liaising with other teachers to help them organise their campaign. The ‘sponsor’ will also ensure that all campaign activities are safe and compliant.

Students - why get involved?

Prizes: There will be prizes up for grabs. Past winners have received iPads, while second and third-place teams bagged £100 and £50 vouchers, respectively. Stay tuned for the announcement of this year’s prizes.
Become a change-maker & 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!"
