At Breast of Friends, we are dedicated to fund raising money for individuals affected by breast cancer or receiving chemotherapy at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Lynn. Our mission is to provide resources, raise money for equipment, in addition to raising awareness for early detection of breast cancer. Breast of Friends was founded in 2019 by friends during their breast cancer journey. During their treatment programme they knew they wanted to give something back to the Queen Elizabeth hospital Breast and Chemotherapy units.
Claire Ling is the Breast of Friends Chair Trustee and has been nominated for fundraiser of the year in the Your Local Paper 'Local Hero Awards 2025 & 2026 Claire has been the driving force in the growth of the charity, as this cause is one that is very close to her heart as she continues to battle with this disease today!
Charlotte Jenkins is Treasurer Trustee and is responsible for the charity finances.
Melanie Britton is Trustee for Breast of friends and supports both Claire and Charlotte, as well as all other charity members.
