Asda Tickled Pink

Client: Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!

Asda Tickled Pink was formed in 1996 after colleagues lobbied the business to support breast cancer charities. Over 30 years, it’s become one of the UK’s longest-running and most impactful charity partnerships, with Asda colleagues, customers and suppliers consistently giving their support. Today, Tickled Pink is the biggest champion of breast cancer charities in the UK.

The partnership brings together Asda, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel! to deliver sustained impact through long-term funding, awareness and behaviour change. Funds raised power world-class research, vital education and life-changing support, while Asda’s retail reach embeds breast awareness into everyday life - encouraging people to check their boobs, pecs or chests and access trusted information when needed.

Now in its 30th year, Tickled Pink has raised over £100 million, but its success goes beyond fundraising. Asda research shows 55% of female shoppers check their chests regularly, compared with 45% nationally, demonstrating the cumulative impact of consistent, long-term awareness.

Over the same period, five-year breast cancer survival has improved from around 80% in the late 1990s to nearly 90% today, driven by advances in research, early diagnosis and treatment. Three decades of Tickled Pink funding and collaboration have helped fuel this progress.
