PINK RIBBON FOUNDATION

The Pink Ribbon Foundation is a grant making trust with a mission to offer grants to organisations working in the field of breast cancer. There are a large number of such charities in the UK each as deserving as the next. Many of the charities that we support are the smaller ones that operate on a shoestring.
