Breast friends is a self-help group based in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands.  It is run by unpaid volunteers  who have all been diagnosed with breast cancer and have undergone surgery.  

Our aim is to help local women with breast cancer through a difficult time by offering friendship, support and practical help.

If you wish to join us there are meetings at Good Hope Hospital, Sutton Coldfield at 7.30pm on the last Monday of most months.

You are very welcome to come to any of our meetings, please bring along a relative or friend if you wish.  Some meetings are for ladies only, ie a beauty consultant will be giving a talk or a representative from a bra and swimwear company will be speaking.

For those living in the Tamworth area there is a separate subgroup,the Pink Peonies, which meets at the Sacred Heart RC Church Centre, Glascote. The 'Pink Orchids' group for younger women has now merged with this group.  There is a 'Lovely Ladies' Group for younger women in Sutton Coldfield � contact Breast Friends 0121 378 3037 for more details.

We also have the Lotus group, which offers information and support to patients who have been told that their cancer has returned.  This group meets on the first Thursday of each month from 2.30pm-4.30pm at the St Giles Centre, Lindridge Road, Sutton Coldfield B75 6JB.

Information on the content of meetings is given in our quarterly newsletter, which is sent to every member.  Copies can also be downloaded here.

We also have social evenings and fund-raising events which are open to everyone.

You can support us through single donations, regular donations and/or through fundraising events.  Donations can be made through our or  Just Giving web pages.
