## **Our Aims, Objectives & Activities**
To promote emotional and mental wellbeing among breast cancer & mastectomy patients & survivors by:
Providing funding for permanent 3D nipple / areola & mastectomy tattoos. Raising awareness of permanent 3D nipple / areola & mastectomy tattoos. Providing a directory of suitably qualified areola restoration tattoo artists.
## **Public Benefit Statement**
We the Trustees confirm we have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and can confirm that all our charitable activities fit this guidance.
## **Achievements & Performance**
In 2021 we have continued to support breast cancer survivors by providing fully funded postmastectomy areola tattoos and advocating for the advancement of restorative areola services available to breast cancer and mastectomy patients.
During the year we were able to provide funding for 3 people to receive 3D nipple tattoos, with a further 20 people benefiting from 3D nipple tattoos that were completed by our specially trained, volunteer artists free of charge.
Despite Covid-19 continuing to impact our fundraising activities we were very grateful for the donations received from our supporters, and the artists and volunteers that were able to hold successful fundraisers throughout the year. The combined total raised from donations and fundraisers was £3,915.
Implementation of a new payment system for our website has helped increase sales of the Nipple Innovation Project “Tit-Tees” t-shirts, which have in turn raised a further £310 for the charity.
We were delighted to be represented by several of its trustees and volunteers at the European Oncology Convention in September. Chair Lucy Thompson held a speaker role at the event and was given the valuable opportunity to showcase the 3D nipple tattoo technique and its benefits to a wide variety of Oncology professionals, as well as making valued connections within the Oncology community.
We have continued to expand our social media reach throughout the year by posting content designed to support and inform breast cancer survivors, as well as improving awareness of 3D nipple tattoos. Several educational webinars were also held throughout the year which received extremely positive feedback.
