What we do
- Driving Behavioural ChangeRegardless of your age, gender, ethnicity, or background, we want everyone in the Asda community to get in the habit of regularly checking their boobs, pecs or chest, so it’s as normal and routine as doing your Asda shop! We want a million more people from the Asda community to be regularly checking their breasts by 2026. We want to encourage at least 100,000 people from the Asda community, who have never previously checked, to start this important habit.
- Fundraising and EngagementTogether, we’re aiming to raise more than £100 million by 2026 to change the future of breast cancer in the UK. Funds raised by Asda Tickled Pink will result in changed behaviour through normalising breast awareness, increased access to life-changing support, and better, kinder treatments, all of which will ultimately lead to improved outcomes, and reduce the impact of breast cancer on everyone.

What We've Funded
- UK’s first national breast cancer tissue bankOne of our biggest achievements has been supporting the creation of the Breast Cancer Now Tissue Bank. It’s the UK’s first ever national tissue bank dedicated to collecting samples from people with breast cancer.
- World-class research across the UKWe fund further projects across the UK which are looking for ways to save lives and help people live well with and beyond breast cancer. One example is at the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre in London, where our money helps researchers look for weaknesses in breast cancer and explore new, kinder treatments.
