At Make 2nds Count, our mission is to give hope to those affected by secondary (metastatic) breast cancer and our vision is to see our community live longer, better lives. 

 

Reading our 2025 Impact Report, you will notice that it reflects the five objectives which form our new strategy - and this is the first year of that plan. 

We have seen huge growth in the last year, reaching many more women and men with secondary breast cancer than ever before. This is reflected in the number of people supported through our Facebook and WhatsApp groups, as well as through services such as our Clinical Trials Service (CTS), which we are proud to say was rated "excellent" and would be recommended to others by 100% of those that have used the service. 

One of our key strengths is our community, which gives us ready access to the voice of people living with secondary breast cancer across the UK. We use this voice to shape our strategy as well as advocate for change - whether that is access to new treatments or awareness of secondary breast cancer, including its signs and symptoms. We have strategically prioritised using our voice more this year in partnership with like-minded charities. 

Our Patient Summit,  in partnership with ECMC and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, continues to be a success with over 500 people attending online and in-person. And our support and wellbeing programme continues to thrive with new activities and events.

None of this would be possible without the incredible fundraising efforts from our wonderful supporters and funding partners. On behalf of people living with secondary breast cancer across the UK, thank you so much for your continued support.
