Thank you for enquiring about becoming a part of what makes HER Breast Friends great – our membership!
Applications are welcomed from women and men who are currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer as well as long-term survivors and those who are living with metastatic breast cancer. Family, friends, and colleagues of those affected can also become members, as can supporters who would like to contribute to the Charity.
Members play a vital role in our organisation and also determine who sits on our management Board of Trustees.
Membership Statement
This statement on membership is taken from the HER Breast Friends Membership & Beneficiaries Policy and aims to ensure that any membership will benefit the charity. A full copy of this policy is available in the Charity’s office.
