Our Charity.
Our Community.
Birstall BAGs seeks to bring people together to raise funds to support cancer services used by the local community.
The charity also takes every opportunity to raise the profile of cancer particularly with regard to the signs and symptoms recognising that early diagnosis of cancer really can save lives.
Birstall BAGs works with other local charities to provide services that support members of the local community who are living with a diagnosis of cancer.
Together we are stronger!

Who are we?
Clare Wells was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998. Her determination to encourage all women to be vigilant, to self-examine and access medical care as soon as possible inspired the formation of Birstall BAGs, a local fundraising and social group.
