Bra bank returns to Peterborough City Hospital


Staff, patients and visitors are now able to donate their unwanted bras to the bra banks, located at Peterborough City, Hinchingbrooke and Stamford & Rutland Hospitals, to help raise money for cancer research.
North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust’s Research and Development team partnered with national charity, Against Breast Cancer to launch this initiative to help collect used, new and surplus bras.

The team have been really keen to start this back up again and I’m proud to have a team that are constantly supporting our patients and their families who are undergoing new treatment of breast cancer.
“We all know how vital research is to improving care for those who have been affected by breast cancer, or any form of cancer. By supporting the bra bank initiative you are not only supporting research, but also certain areas of Africa where women have limited access to affordable bras.”
