Free Childcare for Mums to Access Breast Scans

Leading breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now, have announced that nearly 1 million women missed breast cancer screening appointments due to the pandemic. As if thats not concerning enough, an alarming 8,600 women could be living with undetected breast cancer due to this unprecidented pause on screenings.

In line with Breast Cancer Awareness month, Yoopies have launched a childcare campaign, #ReadySetCheck, to help mothers make the time for breast appointments.

Prioritising prevention in the fight against breast cancer #ReadySetCheck by Yoopies aims to encourage busy Mums to take the time to protect and prioritise their health. From juggling household responsibilities, childcare and work commitments, many Mums already struggle to find the time to focus on themselves and their health. In light of the pandemic, time feels increasingly stretched, and, with high profile reporting of Covid-19, it’s easy to forget the importance of early diagnosis of breast cancer.

‘We want to ensure Mums make the time to be checked with​ the peace of mind that childcare is covered. Whether it’s for a mammogram appointment or to see a GP after noticing an unusual change in their breasts, Mums have 2 hours of childcare ​on us. ‘

How can Mums benefit?

To claim 2 hours of free child care, simply head over to the Yoopies website: info.yoopies.co.uk​, register and upload a confirmation of your mammogram or GP appointment (photo or screenshot).
