The Sunshine Group
Women Making a Difference - Winner

Ann Coffey runs The Sunshine Group breast cancer support group at Liverpool University Hospital Trust. Over the past ten years, while in remission herself, Ann has grown the group from six members to a group of over 350 women. The charity does not get funding and relies solely on donations, so Ann dedicates her life to raising all funds by organising a multitude of events. The group’s members meet regularly to offer support and solidarity through their breast cancer journey. The group is run by patients for patients to ensure that those affected by breast cancer can access support, events, holistic therapies, an ear to listen, and a good cup of tea.
