Coppafeel
‘Coppafeel’ is a campaign which was started by breast cancer sufferer Kristin Hallenga. Thre campaign aims to encourage women to ‘cappafeel’ and check their breasts for cancerous lumps. She was recently awarded a Pride of Britain award for her amazing efforts.

Pants to poverty
We want our pants to be completely transparent! We believe everyone involved in making our pants is part of our gorgeous pants loving community… just the same way as the shops are! So, here we’re delighted to introduce you to the wonderful people who make our pants.. without their amazing work, we wouldn’t be able to proudly claim that our pants truly ethical from grain to groin!!
This charity does exactly as it says on the tin – says pants to poverty!! They make fully ethical, fair trade pants to help those that are underpaid and over worked in poor countries.

Moonwalking
Walk the Walk came into being 12 years ago when just 13 women Power Walked the New York City Marathon in their bras to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. What started out as a one-off fundraising event, has blossomed into a thriving multi-million pound charity, raising to date in excess of £48 million for vital breast cancer causes.

Heels that heal
Welcome to Heels That Heal. It's a sexy and fun collaboration between glossy women's magazine Fabulous and health charity Wellbeing of Women. Our goal is to raise £500,000 to help fund lifesaving research into women's reproductive and gynae health issues.
Don't worry, we won't be asking you to break a sweat, buy a plastic bracelet or bake a mountain of cup cakes. Instead our campaign is revolving around the things you love most – your heels. We're asking you to buy them - see our incredible eBay auction where you can bid for the shoes of celebrities like Kylie Minogue and Cheryl Cole and walk in them to help save lives. We've also got 28 amazing celebrity experiences for you to bid for - fancy lunch with Peter Andre, or a one-on-one cookery lesson with Aldo Zilli? Thought you might!
