About the charity

We want to give patients the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. That's why Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation is joining forces with Bosom Pals patient support group to raise money to improve screening services at the hospital.

We need your support to raise £750,000 towards this ambitious project. This will enable us to buy two full field digital mammography machines and associated I.T. equipment. This improved technology will help to provide shorter examination times, better technique and image quality - helping to detect early and small cancers.
