Here's a list of our Breakthrough Groups in north England. They would love to hear from you and have lots of fundraising experience to share so please do give them a call!

The Cheshire Group was founded in 2003, and is run by Liz Macpherson and Barbara Campbell. The Group are planning a Ceilidh to celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

To find out more or to get involved please call Liz on 01925 751 769 or email.

The Lincoln Breakthrough Group’s aim is to fundraise and raise awareness of Breakthrough and breast cancer issues in the Lincoln area whilst also having fun and making friends along the way.

The Lincoln Breakthrough Group was formed in 2006 by Challenger Eileen Robertson. Throughout 2007 the Lincoln Group developed very close links with the Lincoln Marks and Spencer store, resulting in the group being adopted as their charity of the year! This has been most rewarding, and with M&S Head Office matching all donations collected in the Lincoln store, this has helped the group achieve new fund raising heights!

The Group have a vast array of fun events planned for 2008 including a Crocus Walk, two coffee mornings at Lincoln Central library, a summer BBQ and, following on from last year’s success, a Christmas Fayre at the Assembly Rooms Bailgate in Lincoln.

To find out more about the group and how you can get involved contact Eileen Robertson on 01522 567371 or email eileenspost@ntlworld.com.

Based in Carlisle and founded by Ruth Harland, the North Cumbria Group have previously organised fishing competitions and dog shows for Breakthrough.

To find out more about the Cumbria North (Carlisle) Group, please call Ruth or on 01697 343 927.

The Isle of Man Breakthrough Group consists of a committee of 6 members who work voluntarily to promote breast awareness on the Isle of Man, raise funds for Breakthrough and support people newly diagnosed with breast cancer.

Jan Brooks, chair of the Group, also works as a user representative on the Isle of Man Cancer Taskforce, the Isle of Man User Group and the Breast Multi-disciplinary Team at the local hospital.



The Group have organised a variety of fundraising in the past to include a Pink Ribbon campaign each October and a sponsored Bra Dash in March. The Group has also run a campaign supported by local newspaper groups to raise a £1 for every woman in the Isle of Man. They more than doubled their aim and raised £70,000.

If you are interested in joining in with any of the Isle of Man Group's events or would like to use any of the services offered by them then please email
Jan Brooks or call her on 01624 673264

Six of the founder members of the group formed over 12 years ago make up part of this very committed and thriving team of fundraisers and supporters. We aim to hold at least 3 major fundraising events yearly as well as other smaller events, coupled with raising awareness, talks to interested organisations, collecting cheques etc.

Why not ask for a copy of our Christmas quiz - an excellent fundraiser which you can begin selling at your October event. One of our copies went as far as New Zealand - can you beat that - or find a really unusual destination!'


For more information on the Group's activities, please call Dorothy Head on 01302 832 842.

The Waterloo Breakthrough Group has been set up by Sandra Anderton. Sandra has friends who have had breast cancer, and was inspired to set up a Group having looked at the Breakthrough website. Sandra works for the Blood Transfusion Service and is volunteering for the Moonwalk this year.
