I've noticed a change
Worried about a lump, a dimple, or something that doesn't feel right? Here's what to look for — and what to do next.
Read the signsI've been diagnosed
The hours after diagnosis are a lot. Practical info, real questions to ask, and people who've been where you are.
Find your footingI want to help
Volunteer at an event, fundraise with friends, donate, or partner with us. Every Gibraltar pound stays in Gibraltar.
Get involvedWe're a small group of volunteers with one stubborn belief — that nobody in Gibraltar should face breast cancer alone. Not at diagnosis. Not during treatment. Not afterwards, when everyone else assumes you're "back to normal."

Who we are
A handful of volunteers, an entire community behind them.
Breast Cancer Support Gibraltar was founded in 2007 by a group of women who'd lived it themselves — and decided no one else on the Rock should have to face it without a hand to hold.
Eighteen years on, we're still a small, volunteer-led charity. There's no chief executive, no corner office, no glossy headquarters. There's just a handful of people who've been there, a phone that always answers, and a community that keeps showing up for each other — at Walkers for Knockers, on Flag Day, at the Pink Party, and over countless quiet coffees nobody ever hears about.
Every penny we raise stays in Gibraltar. Every piece of equipment we fund treats Gibraltar patients. Every voucher we hand out helps a Gibraltar woman feel like herself again.

"Walking the Rock with a hundred women in pink — that's when it stops feeling like 'my' cancer and starts feeling like 'our' fight."
