Craft for CoppaFeel! is a fundraising campaign that runs throughout October – in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, our crafty community create weird and wonderful things every day to help end the late detection of breast cancer in young people.
It’s a creative way to fundraise, try new hobbies, and join a wonderful community of like minded people getting crafty for charity. Some call it craftivism, we call it life-saving.
Sign up to get crafty everyday in October. You’ll get your own fundraising pack, fundraising page, crafty guides and there are prizes up for grabs too.
Meet fellow crafters, share your progress, get fundraising tips, and soak up the motivation and cosy energy all month long.
Crochet, paint, sew or knit – whatever craft you choose will be raising life-saving funds.
The money you raise through Craft for CoppaFeel! will help to encourage young people to get to know their body and advocate for their health if they notice any unusual changes. When breast cancer is diagnosed early, treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher.
Craft for CoppaFeel! is our October fundraising campaign. We’re asking our community to take on a sponsored crafting activity every day in October and fundraise to help ensure that all breast cancers are diagnosed early and accurately.

Welcome to Craft for CoppaFeel! 💖 Our team will be sending out sticker sheets on a weekly basis as people register. Postage is with Royal Mail so it could take some time to reach you, so we appreciate your patience.
Sparkly clutch bags are available for anyone who raises £50 before the 1st October 2026. We will send everyone who reaches that milestone a link to claim your bag via email.
Once you’ve reached this milestone, delivery may take up to 2 weeks.
CoppaFeel! totes and our Craft for CoppaFeel! 2026 iron on patch are for anyone who has raised £150 or more over the campaign. The cut off point for fundraising is 11.59pm GMT Sunday 15th November.
Totes and patches will be sent out by the end of November. Please be patient as delivery can take up to two weeks after you have claimed your reward.
To opt out of receiving rewards please email fundraiser@coppafeel.org to let us know.
Please keep in mind that depending on when you email us, you may still receive any rewards that have already been processed and posted. Rather than sending these back, we’d recommend you pass these on to a loved one who can make use of them or give them to your top donor as a thank you for their support.
Short answer: no!
Fundraising online is simple and easy, so we do recommend it. But you might want to fundraise actual cash too. That’s okay.
Either bank the cash yourself and add it to your fundraising page, or use our paying in form to get any cash you’ve raised to CoppaFeel!. Just make sure to let us know if you’re using another way to donate so we can confirm safe receipt and make sure you get all the credit you deserve.
Funds you’ve raised offline will contribute towards your rewards milestones but we need to have received the money before we can post any rewards.
Yes, you can order a fundraising pack here.
It will have lots of useful things, like bunting templates and a donation box, for any in-person fundraising you might be doing in October.
By simply sitting back and basking in the warm glow of knowing you’ve helped save young lives. All online fundraising is sent to us automatically, do you don’t have to do any admin and can enjoy a nice cuppa instead.
Short answer: no!
We love seeing your creativity and enthusiasm, but the crafts you make during Craft for CoppaFeel! are yours to enjoy.
We do not sell handmade items ourselves. If you would like to sell them yourself in return for a donation, we’re incredibly grateful for your support.
Please do speak to us before sending any handmade items to CoppaFeel! HQ. You can email us on fundraiser@coppafeel.org. We have limited space and are only able to display or use a select few items.
But we have plenty of space for pictures and our whole team loves to see them! We actually put up a noticeboard filled with photos of your fab creations each year, so please do share those with us via email and the Facebook group so we can revel in your creativity.
Here’s how we describe ourselves. Feel free to use this when talking to your friends, family and potential donors about our work:
CoppaFeel! is the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer charity. Our mission is to ensure all breast cancers in young people are diagnosed early and accurately. We do this by educating young people about the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encouraging regular chest checking, and empowering young people to advocate for their health.
When breast cancer is diagnosed early, treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early diagnosis saves lives.
You can also use our impact poster to tell your loved ones how their donation can help our work.
You’re probably not a medical professional, and even if you are, Craft for CoppaFeel! isn’t part of your work. It’s using the hobby you love to do good.
So it’s important to avoid giving out medical advice. Instead, advise the person to book an appointment with their GP as soon as possible to get any unusual changes checked out.
You can also send them to our website where we’ve got a page dedicated to what to do if you spot something unusual.
Yes! The fundraising goal is just that – a goal. And you’re welcome to change that goal to suit you. Every penny you raise helps our mission to end the late diagnosis of breast cancer for young people. Whatever you raise, you’re helping to save young lives.
Yes! It’s totally okay to change up the challenge to suit you and your life. Every stitch, stroke or splash of colour makes a difference. And we’re sure your loved ones will understand you’re doing your best and trying your hardest and be willing to support you no matter how many days you manage to craft! (They’re your loved ones, so they must be wonderful people because you’re a wonderful person for getting involved! 🩷)
