Amazon Heart Trust UK Our aims Amazon Heart Trust UK was established in 2006 to promote the physical and mental health of women diagnosed with breast cancer through:
How we work
The Trust is run for and by women living with breast cancer. It springs from the international network that is Amazon Heart and, although separate in constitution and operation from the American and Australian organisations, works within and supports Amazon Heart’s key values:
Community
is the most powerful agent of social change. The impact of one multiplied by many makes all things possible. Communities empower individuals to change their own lives for the better, and to reach their full potential by engaging with and supporting others.
Empowerment
gives people access to the skills and resources necessary to achieve their dreams. We encourage and inspire people to address their individual concerns and move towards making a difference for others.
Social Impact
is our reason for existing. We address unmet social needs and provide the catalyst for sustainable, systemic change by empowering others.
Living Life Fully
by following our passions at work and in life. Life is not a rehearsal. We advocate making the most of every day and finding balance, joy and fun in all we do.
Humanism
is treating everyone with respect and honouring the individual gifts they bring to the world. We believe in diversity, equity, unity and inclusion.
The Trust was established in response to these values to empower UK participants of Amazon Heart events; giving them greater control over the development of a peer support programme in the UK allowing it to better reflect and respond to the particular needs of women in the UK; and permitting greater input into the areas participants' fundraising will assist, allowing such funds to be better directed at needs currently unmet by major UK charities. How we can help The Trust promotes and supports women’s participation in peer support adventures, both in the UK and abroad. These unique adventures provide a life affirming experience for the women who undertake them, and are powerful advocates - providing inspiration for other women living with breast cancer.

The Trust also offers grants on an annual basis to likeminded organisations assisting UK women and often works in partnership with UK charities to raise the profile and share the benefits of our peer support programme. Partner charities have included IBC UK, the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity and Breast Cancer Care. Click here to find out about our grant application process.
