We are incredibly proud to be partnering with the charity, Breast Cancer Now.
Breast Cancer Now exists to change the lives of people affected by breast cancer. They fund life-saving research, campaign for change and provide information and support so that everyone affected by the disease can live and live well.
Over 50% of our tombola community have been affected by breast cancer in some way and we want to give back to causes that our players truly care about.
Our goal is to share life saving information with over a million people through our "eyes down, check up" campaign. We're aiming to raise money for Breast Cancer Now to fund critical research and support, helping those who experience a breast cancer diagnosis to live and live well.
Here you’ll find everything you need to know about our charity partnership and how you can get involved by performing regular checks on your breasts, and encouraging friends and family to get their eyes down and check up!

Who are Breast Cancer Now?
Breast Cancer Now exists to change the lives of people affected by breast cancer. They fund life-saving research, campaign for change and provide information and support to everyone affected by the disease.
Why? Because we know that breast cancer isn't yesterday's problem. Over 55,000 people are diagnosed every year in the UK alone. And 1,000 people still die from the disease every month.
Our vision is that by 2050, everyone diagnosed with breast cancer will live well. But to make this vision a reality, we need to work towards it every minute, every day. To make it a reality, we need to act now.
