Celebrating 10 years of the Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven
Friday 16t October 2026
Worcester City Women FC (WCWFC), the FA WNL’s community club of the year, is
partnering with the Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven (WBUH) this Sunday, 18
October, to turn Sixways pink and raise donations for the local charity as part of
Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Fans, supporters and volunteers are being asking to join Pablo, WCWFC’s lovable
penguin mascot, and “wear it pink” for WCFWC’s home game against Notts County
Women. There will be opportunities to make donations to support WBUH before,
during and after the match.
Anything goes - from pink wigs and hats to full-on pink outfits!
Currently 800 women and seven men a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in
Worcestershire. Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven is the only local breast cancer
charity fundraising and supporting solely Worcestershire patients. It provides
practical and emotional support to the women and men of Worcestershire with their
breast care needs, working closely with the NHS specialist breast care team to
provide the best possible care in the best possible environment.
The ground will be open from 12.30pm and kick off is at 2pm. To buy tickets for
Sunday’s match visit: WCWFC vs Notts County

About Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven
The Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven is a small, local breast cancer charity based
within the Worcestershire Breast Unit. We work closely with the NHS Breast clinical
team to provide additional support and services for breast patients across
Worcestershire beyond those available through the NHS alone.
Established in 2016, the charity was created to support everyone diagnosed with
breast cancer in Worcestershire, building on the outstanding previous work of the
Worcestershire Breast Unit campaign.
Our mission is to provide compassionate, practical and emotional support to those
affected by breast cancer in Worcestershire, helping them feel informed, empowered
and never alone. We support patients from the point of diagnosis throughout the
challenges of treatment and place a strong emphasis on rehabilitation and recovery
after treatment. This includes services designed to improve physical strength and
stamina, as well as providing valuable peer support opportunities that promote
emotional wellbeing and mental health.
All our care is free to patients.
We are an independent charity, entirely reliant on fundraising from the local
community and grants from local Trusts. In order for Worcestershire Breast Unit
charity to exist and meet the needs of local people, we need to raise in excess of
£400,000 a year.
