Breast Cancer Now Forum

Hello everyone,   Thank you for the comments and ideas which you have all shared on this thread. Considering the range of responses, this thread will be used to conclude whether or not the giftshop team should use the opportunity of a new butterfly pin to dedicate it to people affected by breast cancer and if so, which of the three most recent designs should be used to do that.   We will open a new thread tomorrow to explore the wider discussion around development of a symbol / emblem specifically for secondary breast cancer. We will open the discussion with the list of three ideas (the candle, circles and pink ribbon pin with black borders) and we’ll ask the giftshop team to feed back on design implications for manufacturing a pin. They’ve asked a supplier to assess the idea of a pink ribbon pin with black borders and hope to have the update ready for the new thread.   All views on the butterfly pin and whether or not we should dedicate it to people affected by secondary breast cancer, would be most gratefully received to conclude this thread.  Thank you for taking time to share your thoughts with us.   Best wishes Nicole Forum Coordinator     ...

Dear All,   Unfortunately, we are having to cancel the Big Question events with the political parties that were due to take place next month on the forum. This has been because we have been unable to secure enough of the parties to take part. This is obviously disappointing but it is not the only activity we are organising in the run up to the election.   If you were planning on taking part in the Big Question and had issues you wanted to raise with the parties, we would recommend getting in touch with your local candidates. You can do this through our website where you can send an email directly to them. We also have some volunteers who are running local Question Time events, which you could attend. For more details on both of these, go to www.breastcancercare.org.uk/election2015.   We also have a few spaces left for people who would like to run a Question Time event in their constituency. If you are interested please get in touch with the Policy & Campaigns team to find out more at campaigns@breastcancercare.org.uk. Get in touch if you have any questions about our general election activity as well.   Nicole Forum Coordinator ... View more
