The aim of the Reach for our Recovery programme is to supply practical and emotional support to breast cancer patients and their families.

We intend our support to enable you to make relevant personal decisions and to find the motivation for recovery from breast cancer with an optimal quality of life.

Our programme, with its carefully chosen, well trained volunteers, is approved by the medical profession and promoted by cancer societies world wide.
