At Parkhurst and Co, we believe it’s important to be open and transparent about the charitable causes we support and the impact our patients help us to achieve.

We’re therefore proud to share confirmation of our recent donation to CoppaFeel!, a charity dedicated to educating young people about breast cancer awareness and the importance of regularly checking their chest.


Official Confirmation from CoppaFeel! for Breast Cancer Awarness

In January 2026, we were delighted to receive a formal letter from CoppaFeel! acknowledging a donation of £562.50, made on behalf of Parkhurst & Co.

“On behalf of CoppaFeel! I would like to pass on a huge thank you for donating a phenomenal £562.50.This money will mean we can reach more young people with our chest checking and life-saving message, and for that, we are so grateful.”Francesca Lanzarotti, Corporate Partnership Executive, CoppaFeel!(January 2026)

This letter confirms the total amount donated following our Bring Your Breastie awareness and fundraising initiative.


How the Donation Was Raised

The funds were raised during our “Bring Your Breastie” day event, held at Parkhurst & Co to encourage open, relaxed conversations around breast health awareness.

We partnered with eyewear brands Johann von Goisern and Face à Face, combining eyewear styling with education and fundraising.

The fundraising included:

  • £10 donated for every Johann von Goisern and Face à Face frame sold

  • A raffle, with patients able to purchase tickets for the chance to win a complete pair of spectacles — frame and lenses of their choice

  • CoppaFeel! awareness posters displayed in restrooms across our practices, keeping the message visible and accessible

Following the original event, we were fortunate to receive additional donations, which is why the final confirmed total differs slightly from the amount referenced when the campaign first launched.

Why CoppaFeel! Matters to Us

Breast cancer awareness is something that resonates deeply with our family and our team.

Both my sister-in-law and my mother-in-law have been successfully treated for breast cancer, reinforcing just how vital early awareness and prompt action can be.

As a healthcare business with a predominantly female workforce, we feel a responsibility to actively support education, awareness, and charities that empower people to look after their long-term health.

The Impact of Your Support

CoppaFeel! works to ensure that breast cancers in young people are diagnosed early and accurately, giving the best possible chance of a positive outcome. Donations like this help them deliver their life-saving message through schools, universities, workplaces, healthcare professionals, and online education.

Thank You

To everyone who supported the initiative — by attending the event, purchasing frames, buying raffle tickets, or donating — thank you.

Your generosity has directly contributed to CoppaFeel!’s vital work, helping to educate young people and save lives through early detection. We’re incredibly proud to support this charity and look forward to continuing to raise awareness wherever we can.
