Priority Areas

Future Dreams works to ensure that nobody touched by breast cancer faces it alone or without hope. It provides practical, physical, psychological and emotional support to people diagnosed with breast cancer and their families through in-person and online services. Its support includes clinical advice, peer networks, specialist-led workshops, holistic therapies and emotional-health services. The charity funds breast cancer research, including research into secondary breast cancer, and describes its research as pioneering and patient-focused, shaped by the needs and voices of the breast cancer community. It also backs initiatives at national, regional and local levels that raise awareness of breast cancer or provide critical support to people with a diagnosis. Its work combines direct services for people affected by breast cancer with research funding and evidence-based breast health education.
