Support services for Hunter families facing breast cancer 💗
Donate, volunteer, make a difference! 🤝

The Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation is a locally-rooted, independent charity, proudly funded by our generous Hunter community. Run by a dedicated volunteer board and a small team, we operate independently, ensuring that every dollar we raise stays right here in the region. Our mission is to provide essential supportive care services for individuals and families facing breast cancer. We offer a range of services, including patient transport, lawn and garden care, cleaning, survivorship programs, prosthesis assistance, comfort cushions, and more. By supporting us, you're making a meaningful impact on the lives of those dealing with breast cancer in the Hunter region. Join us in our mission to make a difference - donate, volunteer, and be a part of our supportive community. 💕🤝

Last year, The Very Popular Theatre Company stood beside HBCF and helped raise vital funds to support local people and families affected by breast cancer.

We haven’t forgotten it.

Now, Dan, Hayley and their incredible team are asking Newcastle to stand beside them.
For more than 20 years, The Very Popular Theatre Company has created extraordinary theatre right here in our city, providing opportunities for local performers, musicians, creatives, technicians and businesses, and bringing thousands of people together through live performance.

Their current production of Disney’s FROZEN is now facing a very real challenge, and they have issued a heartfelt call for support from the community.

At HBCF, we know just how powerful the Hunter can be when we rally behind our own.
If you are in a position to do so, there are a few ways you can help:

🩷 Buy a ticket and experience FROZEN at Civic Theatre Newcastle.

🩷 Can’t make it yourself? Consider purchasing a ticket and gifting it to someone who could use a little joy — including, if appropriate, through our friends at Camp Quality Newcastle, who we are proud to work alongside.

🩷 And if buying a ticket isn’t possible right now, please don’t put yourself under financial pressure. We know the current cost-of-living environment is incredibly tough for many families. Simply sharing The Very Popular Theatre Company’s message and helping spread the word about this amazing local production can make a real difference too.

They showed up for us.
Now, if we can, let’s show up for them.
Hunter people helping Hunter people. 🩷

🎉 Lots of reasons to celebrate at HBCF HQ this week! 🎉

Last week we recognised some very special milestones within our HBCF family:

💖 12 months since Louise joined us as our General Manager
💖 3 years since Josh, our fundraising and marketing guru, came on board
💖 7 years since Cath began her incredible journey with HBCF, including her leadership as Board President

Together, they have helped shape, strengthen and grow our organisation, ensuring more local people impacted by breast cancer receive the support they need.

And that's not all...

🎂 There's also a birthday happening this week for someone in this photo. We've been told we're absolutely NOT allowed to mention it. Which means we know it can't be Josh, because he'd already have told everyone. 🤭

Please join us in congratulating all three on their milestones and helping us celebrate another special week at HBCF!

💗 Thank you for everything you do for our community.
