Welcome to Isle of Man Breast Care

We are a Registered Charity set up by local women who have all experienced breast cancer themselves, to provide emotional and practical support to patients their friends and families.

Regular informal meetings are held monthly at The Snaefell Surgery, Anagh Coar, Douglas or ‘One-to-one’ at home or on the telephone.

Specialist breast care surgery consultant at Noble's from February!
Sharon Maddrell, Chair of Isle of Man Breast Care said: “This is fantastic news for the people of the Isle of Man and exactly what we wanted and were promised by the Department of Health.  It’s been a turbulent 12 months for all of those affected by and campaigning to raise awareness of breast cancer, with vocal opposition by some for plans to appoint to this post.  I feel this has at times caused unnecessary alarm and concern amongst the public; but hopefully now all parties can work together to continue developing an exemplary breast care service for the people of the Isle of Man.  CLICK TO READ MORE

£4172 donation from Barclays Wealth Staff!
Staff from the Payments dept. at Barclays Wealth in Douglas chose Isle of Man Breast Care as their ‘Charity of the Year’ for 2011 and have raised a massive £4172 for us.

Events including a sponsored body wax and head shave, Race Night, Christmas wrapping service, Halloween Raffle, Valentine and Easter Hampers and Team Challenges were held throughout the year to raise the bumper amount.

The staff council who organised the events were: Chris Bowers, Richard Brant, Gill Cardy, Kerry Cowin, Helen Doolan, Julieanne Collister, Kirstie Powell and Rowita Taisia.

 We were really pleased to have been chosen as their Charity of the Year but we are over the moon at receiving such a fabulous amount. I’ve seen some photos from the sponsored body wax and those people went through a lot of pain for us! This money, as always, will go directly towards helping breast cancer patients and their families on the Island.

Rolling Turkey Raffle raises £480
St Johns farmer Kenny Sloane of Patrick Road continued his long support for us by again raffling one of his whopping big Turkeys at the final St Johns Christmas Mart. The mart is being demolished and moved to a new site at Knockaloe Patrick.  The turkey was auctioned, put back and bid for again until it raised a fabulous £480! Thank you so much to Kenny and everyone at Central Marts for their support.
