Our Mission & Values

The Facts:

1 in 10 women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime, a third of these women will never be cured.
Only 2% of all cancer research funding is spent on prevention.
After decades of research into new treatments, the disease continues to rise across the western world.

Breast cancer has become one of the most devastating health problems of our time and we believe that:

"Prevention is better than healing because it saves the labour of being sick."
(Thomas Adams 17th Century Physician)

The Genesis Appeal is the UK's only breast cancer charity entirely dedicated to the prevention of the disease.

Our mission is to create a future without breast cancer by making 1 in 10, none in 10.
Our purpose built breast cancer prevention centre, Europe's first, was completed in 2007 and we aim to support its services by sponsoring people and science.
We will achieve this by providing a strategic programme of clinical research, the UK's largest family history clinic, plus a training centre for specialists in all breast cancer disciplines.
We will promote breast screening and early diagnosis, and research new treatments to stop breast cancer in its early stages.
