Want to volunteer but short on time? The CoppaFeel! Collective is your lower-effort but high-impact way in. Share a post, put up a poster, sign a petition, and help keep chest-checking part of everyday conversations, whenever you’ve got five minutes to spare.
We’re the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get everyone checking their chest. We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection saves lives.
Our volunteers are critical to our mission and help spread our lifesaving message across the UK. Join us and help end the late detection of breast cancer.
Quick actions, fitted around you – anywhere from 5 – 30 minutes at a time. These might include:
Anyone who is/has:
“I’ve actually never volunteered before and it’s always something I wanted to do, but having a chronic illness growing up I didn’t have the time. It’s really fulfilled that part of me that wants to do something important and change people’s lives.
I sent off an email to a maternity service and asked them if they wanted some CoppaFeel! leaflets. They said yes and they put them in every single antenatal, labour, and postnatal room they had, and also asked for shower stickers too, so that was a big win. It made me realise the power of one person sending an email, which really didn’t take me much time.”
Tess, CoppaFeel! Collective Member
Joining the CoppaFeel! Collective is easy, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Anyone aged 18+ living in the UK. No experience needed, just enthusiasm and a bit of time to give. And since all genders have breast tissue, our message is for everyone.
We spread the word about chest-checking in small, flexible ways – sharing posts, putting up posters, signing petitions, and more. Quick, easy actions you can take whenever you’ve got the time. We’ll share a menu of activities with you, and you can choose what you like.
Whatever works for you! There’s no minimum hours or fixed schedule. Some weeks you might take five minutes, other weeks nothing at all.
Not at all. Most tasks don’t need any specific knowledge to take on. We’ll also send you a welcome pack with a few key talking points on breast cancer and CoppaFeel!, so you’ll feel confident talking about what you’re doing.
Every task comes with clear, easy instructions. You’ll also get a welcome pack, online training that clues you up on everything you need to know about CoppaFeel!’s message, and a dedicated contact at CoppaFeel! to help you with whatever you need.
Once you’ve applied for the CoppaFeel! Collective, you’ll be invited to join us for an information session with other volunteers and have some online training to complete at a time and place that works for you.
We’ll then send you your welcome pack full of CoppaFeel! resources and goodies, and you can sign up for any volunteer activities on our website that suit you – all in the name of sharing our chest checking message!
