Black Women Rising - Support Group for Breast Cancer Patients
The Black Women Rising cancer support project was set up in 2017 by award-winning community champion Leanne Pero after she struggled with the aftermath of her own battle with breast cancer at just 30 years old. The website provides you with information, advice and support groups for those affected with breast cancer.
The service deliver bespoke projects that provide the platform for cancer patients, and survivors to come forward and share their stories. They value the importance of building a picture of the overall patient experience. They also work in conjunction with mainstream cancer support charities and brands to ensure that the experiences of their patrons are being heard, and are reaching the right people to bring about change.
Black Women Rising's ground-breaking debut project consisting of five monthly support groups, a podcast, a magazine and home to the UK’s first ever all Black female portrait exhibition. All the projects are centred around the experiences of women who have or have survived cancer.
