Charity providing support for women with breast cancer. Founded by Betty Westgate, five years after she was diagnosed with the disease. Originally called the Mastectomy Association; the name was changed to Breast Care and Mastectomy Association of Great Britain in 1987, and again to its current name in 1994.
