Breast Friends Northamptonshire is a charitable organization dedicated to supporting and assisting individuals undergoing breast cancer treatment and aftercare in Northamptonshire and the surrounding regions. Founded by Leonie Heard, who herself was undergoing treatment in 2017, the charity's mission is centered around promoting preventive measures and providing a supportive peer group for those affected by breast cancer. With the support of Macmillan Cancer Support and other healthcare professionals, Breast Friends Northamptonshire has successfully established a peer group, which has since obtained official charity status.

Leonie is assisted by a dedicated team of trustees who work behind the scenes to ensure the smooth operation of the charity, along with a committee of members who organize various events, meetings, and coffee mornings to meet the needs of its members. Breast Friends Northamptonshire aims to create a supportive environment where individuals can find solace, guidance, and camaraderie. Through their invaluable services and programs, they strive to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by breast cancer
