What we do
Cups & Courage is a community hub and media platform built around one belief: that honest conversation, human connection and shared experience are essential - not optional - when navigating breast cancer.
Based in Chesham with a dedicated studio and community space, everything we do sits across three strands.
Stories
We create filmed conversations, podcast episodes and video and film content that amplify real voices and reach both local and wider audiences. Our production is thoughtful and high quality - because the stories being told deserve to be heard clearly and taken seriously. We cover every aspect of breast cancer and life around it: diagnosis, treatment, surgery, body image, mental health, relationships, life after cancer and the perspectives of those who care for and support people going through it.
Gatherings
Our Chesham space is a real place for people to come together. We host regular coffee mornings, social events and informal meet-ups - low pressure, welcoming and open to anyone affected by breast cancer. These are not support groups with a clinical agenda. They are spaces where people can simply be together, have a cup of tea and feel a little less alone.
Learning
We run talks, workshops and educational sessions that go beyond awareness. Rooted in lived experience and delivered in partnership with people who know what they're talking about, these sessions give people knowledge, tools and community - in an environment that feels warm and accessible.
Who we work with
We collaborate with healthcare professionals, local organisations, community groups and individuals who share our belief that the human side of breast cancer matters. If you are interested in working with us, we'd love to hear from you.
Who's it for?
Cups & Courage is for anyone affected by breast cancer - whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, living after treatment, supporting someone you love, or working in healthcare and looking to better understand lived experience.
Why it matters
Breast cancer can be isolating. Many people struggle with the emotional, physical and social impact long after diagnosis or treatment ends. Cups & Courage creates welcoming spaces - in person in Chesham and online - where people can share, listen, learn and reconnect. Not just during treatment. For as long as they need.
Support the Work
Everything we do - events, content, community - is kept free and accessible. If you'd like to help us keep it that way, there are lots of ways to get involved.
