SBCC Acknowledgments

We wish to acknowledge that the design and copyright of the original 'pink lady' on which SBCC's 'pink tartan lady' is based is the property of the Breast Cancer Network Australia. Our thanks goes to BCNA for allowing us to use this logo. 'The lady' symbolises the emphasis BCNA places on the WOMAN who is affected by breast cancer as opposed to the pink ribbon, which usually stands for fundraising for research.

The Scottish Breast Cancer Campaign is lobbying government to

  • improve breast cancer services for women already affected by breast cancer—especially those needing specialised treatment for lymphoedema
  • actively seek ways to minimise women’s lifetime exposure to harmful environmental pollutants especially those known to be hormone disruptors
  • provide clear, comprehensive and up-to-date information on all aspects of breast cancer treatment and services – especially on the National Breast Cancer Screening Programme
