FRIENDSHIP. HELP. SUPPORT.
Providing support to those affected by
breast cancer
Bosom Friends has been running for over 30 years since it was set up by Sister Norma Russell, the Bradford Breast Care Nurse, to provide friendship, help and support to those with breast cancer and to their families. The group is now patient led, but with huge support from the Breast Care Team, who attend some of the meetings to give us updates on treatments and new surgical techniques, and are always at the end of the phone to answer and questions we can’t help with.
We usually meet on the 3rd Wednesday of each month at 7pm at the Cancer Support Centre on Smith Lane. Our meetings are always friendly social events, an opportunity to chat over a cup of tea with other women who are living with or beyond breast cancer. Much of the emphasis is about getting on with life with or after cancer and the content of the evening meeting varies from talks from guest speakers to quizzes, jewellery parties, and other fun activities.

Bosom Friends is a registered charity and we rely entirely on fund raising and voluntary donations. Funds raised are used in a number of ways to benefit women being treated in Bradford. In some circumstances we can provide financial support e.g to purchase specialised underwear. We help the Cancer Support Centre with funding for a Complementary Therapist, have in the past bought specialised beds and other furniture and home comforts for the Breast Care Ward and are currently helping make the Dales Suite a pleasant and welcoming place.
If you would like more information about Bosom Friends, the meetings or feel you would just like to talk on a one to one basis with someone who has been through the same problems as yourself, please contact us and we will get back to you.
