CoppaFeel! are the first UK breast cancer charity to create awareness amongst young people, with the aim to instil a new healthy behaviour that could one day save a life. They are on a mission to ensure breast cancer is diagnosed early and correctly by getting the nation to check their boobs/chest regularly. They want to educate people on the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, encourage them to get to know what is normal for them and empower young people to have the confidence to see a doctor if they notice anything that isn't right for them.

Our Mission

We are the Nottingham Uni Boob Team and we represent a charity called CoppaFeel! at the University of Nottingham. We are on a mission to get everyone on campus checking their boobs and pecs regularly because it’s really important to get to know your normal so that if anything does change you can get it checked out!

One of the main things we promote is our text reminder service – if you text UBT NOTTS to 82228 you’ll get a free monthly reminder to check your chest! CoppaFeel! are an awesome charity who are working towards a world where all breast-cancer is detected at the earliest possible stage because this greatly increases the chance of survival and the efficacy of treatments. Their primary focus is young people and the UBT’s set-up across the country aim to spread their message on campus. We want to get as many uni students knowing their bodies and checking their boobs/pecs as possible!

It’s not all doom and gloom though – while the message Notts UBT spreads is a very serious one, we aim to keep our campaigns positive and very much enjoy dressing up as boobs and getting our glitter on to spread the boob-checking message as far as we can!
