Become a Buddy Member

Reasons to Become a Buddy Member

Becoming a Buddy is for anyone with an eagerness to help others, a curiosity to know more and a desire to experience the power of coming together to support those in the community who need it most.

We extend a warm welcome to everyone, including those who haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Benefits of Becoming a Buddy

Belong: be part of a community that believes in our cause, building meaningful relationships with like-minded people.

Support: whether it’s fundraising, championing an event or just being on hand to help others - Buddies contribute to making sure that people can access the services and support we provide.

Do: have the opportunity to put forward new initiatives and shape the future of our charity, take a leading role in the organisation by reaching out to others in the community, or voting at our Annual General Meeting held each November.

With your help we can continue to

  • Provide support at no cost to patients facing breast cancer and their loved ones in the ACT and surrounding NSW region.

  • Promote awareness and the importance of supporting yourself through breast awareness and self-checking for breast cancer.

  • Gift helpful patient aids (Buddy Gifts) to breast cancer patients.

  • Advocate for improved health services for breast cancer patients within our community.

  • Provide information on the services available in the region.

Your support helps in so many ways. For example

  • a 1-year buddy membership of $15 will cover the cost of a Buddy Bag that’s gifted at no cost to breast cancer patients post-surgery, and

  • a 3-year buddy membership will enable a support team volunteer to facilitate one (1) support group catch-up in the region.

It’s a way of getting involved and giving back to help others.
