Charities

Delivered by the Vodafone Foundation, the Vodafone World of Difference programme gives people right across the UK the chance to work for a charity of their choice for two months, and get paid for it. It’s open to anyone over 18 in the UK who has the enthusiasm, drive and commitment to donate themselves to a charity.

“I’m all about confidence and feeling good about yourself, that why I love World of Difference so much” said Gok. “Nothing makes you feel better than getting involved in your community. This is a unique chance to go out there, donate yourself to a charity and get paid for it! So come on people, get in touch with your local charity or check out the matchmaker tool which will match you with your perfect charity. Your community needs you!”

Applications open in the autumn. To register your interest, visit the charity matchmaker tool or find out more information simply log onto

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, so it’s important to be breast aware. This means getting to know how your breasts look and feel so you know what is normal for you and can notice any unusual changes and report them to your GP. For more information on breast awareness visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk.

Be it managing the ongoing side effects of treatment, returning to work, or coming to terms with body changes, Moving Forward after breast cancer can be a real challenge. Breast Cancer Care has developed important services to provide support for people as they find a ‘new normal’. Visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk/movingforward.
