Of Bosom Pals, Louise writes:

"I first heard about the important work of Bosom Pals in 2003. When I met the women involved in the group I was impressed by their caring, warmth and sense of fun. The theatre group I work with decided that we would like to support them by donating the proceeds of our programme sales. This we have done ever since. When I was asked to be a Patron of Bosom Pals I didn't hesitate in saying yes. I am very pleased (and a little humbled) to be involved with this group of women who offer such wonderful support to other women facing the traumatic diagnosis of breast cancer. They are living proof that there is 'life' after breast cancer and not only that, during it too."
