Hello and welcome back to The Prosecco Sessions! Today I’m joined by Helen, a Boobette Volunteer for CoppaFeel to discuss getting to know our boobs, what to be aware of and more! So what is CoppaFeel!? CoppaFeel! is a breast cancer charity creating awareness to remind and educate everyone to check your boobs and pecs which can be fun but also save lives too! So without further ado, lets crack open some bubbles and get into the topic.

How can we raise awareness?

- Signing up to free text reminders from CoppaFeel!

- Sign up for CoppaFeel! Boob Mail

- Speaking openly with family and friends around the topic

- Book a Boobette!

Statistics from CoppaFeel! website:

In the UK…

- 1 in 8 women will be affected by breast cancer in their lifetime.

- Around 400 men are diagnosed every year.

- Breast cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women under 40.*

- Every year in the UK, around 5,000 women under the age of 45 are diagnosed with breast cancer.*

*Statistics from Breast Cancer Care

Our research shows…

90% of 18-29 year olds believe it is important to raise awareness of breast cancer amongst young women.

Women who are aware of CoppaFeel! Are more likely to check their breasts than those who are not aware.

9 out of 10 women think that cancer education should be on the national curriculum.
