Renowned brands are encouraging people to unleash their spending power during Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October) in aid of those affected by breast cancer.

Throughout October, all of these participating brands will be donating a percentage of sales across new accessories, personal care items, décor ranges and homewares to Breast Cancer Haven, the national UK charity supporting people through the physical and emotional experience of breast cancer.

Several of these top companies are renewing their partnership with Breast Cancer Haven for 2019, including well-known brands such as KitchenAid, Dualit, Little Greene, Douvall’s and CareCo, whilst others are participating for the first time to lend their support to this fantastic cause.

The 100% vegan handmade soap company, Saucha, is donating 5% of all sales of its rose and geranium soap to the charity, and the lingerie brand, Nicola Jane, will be offering 10% of sales across all its products sold during October.

Furry friends can also lend a paw to show their support, with 10% of sales being provided by Friendship Collar from the ‘Pawsitively Pink’ dog and cat collars, dog leashes and matching bracelets for human pals.

Kent Brushes has produced a special edition unisex hairbrush, in partnership with Breast Cancer Haven, made from natural beechwood and pure bristles, with £1.00 being donated to Breast Cancer Haven for every brush sold.

Many of these products are not only ideal for people to use who are undergoing breast cancer treatment, but these sales also raise essential funds to support other people affected by breast cancer too.

Sally Hall, Breast Cancer Haven’s CEO, said:

“We’re delighted to be working with so many house-hold names again for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, all lending their support with fantastic donations being provided from every purchase going directly to the support services offered at Breast Cancer Haven.

“We understand how devastating a diagnosis of breast cancer can be so all our services are designed to improve the health and wellbeing of everyone that walks through our door. Our personalised, free programme of emotional, physical and practical therapies is only made possible by charitable donations. Buying these products will help someone with breast cancer today.”

Breast Cancer Haven - which was founded in February 2000 - provides free in-depth personalised programmes of psychological support, help with treatment side-effects and supported self-management activities in five community-based centres in London, Hereford, Yorkshire, Wessex and the West Midlands as well as two hospital breast units in London and Worcester.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month runs from the 1-31 October 2019, and people can choose from a wide range of sought-after products to lend their support to the charity, including:

Notes to editors
1. Breast Cancer Haven is a national charity that supports women throughout or after their breast cancer treatment. When breast cancer tries to rob a woman of her individuality, confidence or strength, Breast Cancer Haven provides a tailored package of emotional, physical and practical support that helps her hold on to them.
2. The programme provides a unique model of care that is fully integrated with hospital medical treatment. It is a global leader in its field and cancer specialists from all over the world visit Breast Cancer Haven centres and learn from them.

3. Help is also available through the website – breastcancerhaven.org.uk; an outreach programme, including many of the elements available at the charity’s centres; and a ‘Haven at Home’ DVD is available to anyone who can’t get to a Breast Cancer Haven centre.

4. It costs around £1000 to provide the Breast Cancer Haven programme for each service user and the care and support make a huge difference to their lives at a difficult time.
