Breast cancer charities — your questions answered
How many breast cancer charities are registered in the UK?
The UK's charity registers (Charity Commission for England & Wales, OSCR in Scotland and CCNI in Northern Ireland) list 50 charities whose registered name relates to breast cancer. CharityCompare has enriched, scored profiles for 6 of them, and every one of the others has a free basic profile here with its registration number and register details.
How do I choose a breast cancer charity to donate to?
Check three things: the charity is registered (its profile shows a Charity Commission number), its Clarity score (we rate transparency and financial health from annual filings), and its cause spend — the share of spending that reaches the charitable cause rather than overheads. All three are free on every CharityCompare profile.
How do I check a breast cancer charity is legitimate?
Every genuine UK charity has a registration number from its national regulator — the Charity Commission for England & Wales, OSCR in Scotland or CCNI in Northern Ireland. Look it up on the charity's CharityCompare profile or on the official register. Registered charities must file annual accounts — if a fundraiser cannot give you a registration number, do not donate.
