CoppaFeel!

CoppaFeel! is a UK breast awareness charity for young people, founded in 2009 by twin sisters Kris and Maren Hallenga, after Kris' diagnosis with incurable breast cancer, aged 23. The charity runs awareness programmes in schools, universities and online, and works with teachers and healthcare professionals to educate young people on breast cancer and what's normal for their bodies, so they have the best possible chance of surviving the disease.

Emma's story

Emma's story
Emma was a university student when she was given a CoppaFeel! breast awareness shower sticker. At 24, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, after noticing a lump whilst showering. She credits CoppaFeel! - and their shower sticker - with saving her life.

Changing behaviours

Changing behaviours
CoppaFeel!'s goal is simple - to get young people to cop a feel of their chests, and do it often. From waterproof shower stickers to a free monthly text reminder service, they help young people keep abreast of their breasts.

Preventing late diagnosis

Preventing late diagnosis
CoppaFeel!'s work with healthcare professionals helps reduce barriers to early diagnosis for young people. CoppaFeel! helps equip doctors and nurses with the information needed to ensure their patients are breast aware.
