Delyth joined Breakthrough Breast Cancer in 1995. In 2011 she was then appointed chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign. In 2015 and 2019, Delyth led mergers that brought together then 3 leading breast cancer charities to form @BreastCancerNow
“While it’s been a huge decision, I know this is the right time for me to hand over the reins of this extraordinary charity… I’ll remain a staunch advocate for Breast Cancer Now, the cancer community and the charity sector and look forward to continued progress” @DelythJMorgan
After 23 years as chief executive of Breast Cancer Now and its legacy charities, Baroness Delyth Morgan has today announced that she will step down from her role leading the charity in spring 2024.
"We're devastated to hear of the death of Jacqueline Gold CBE to secondary breast cancer. We send our love and support to her friends, family & anyone affected by the news today. Jaqueline was a fierce supporter of Breast Cancer Now and campaigner for women with breast cancer."
1m women missed out on #breastcancer screening in England last year. Pandemic disruption & changes to the system made it harder to attend screening.
❗ The government needs to invest in the long-term future of the program & guarantee access

Thank you @delythjmorgan for an amazing afternoon at The House of Lords with @Hollywoodford01 ❤️ loved the conversation and company. Every day is a school day and excited to offer solutions for every woman on a breast cancer journey 🥰
“For far too long women like myself are only counted when we die. What good is that, except to highlight the severity of the situation.
"31 British women die every day. It’s a daily tragedy.” - @mary_huckle
Today’s new estimate that 57,215 people were living with secondary breast cancer in England in 2020/21 (April 2020 to March 2021) is a landmark moment in understanding the true number of people living with secondary breast cancer in England.
A few tears were shed today in the lab!! Thank you to the @BreastCancerNow supporters for their lovely Christmas messages- we could not do our research without your support ✨
A prompt diagnosis of secondary breast cancer matters. Yet sadly far too often, this is not the case. We’re so grateful to Patricia for sharing her experience with @leahfhardy raising vital signs and symptoms awareness and helping to provoke urgent action: https://t.co/eM8vtgll3L
At break time today we held our Staff Poly Bake Off Competition and then a bake sale. Thank you to everyone who entered their bakes and donated. Well done to Mrs Crowley, the judges voted her cake as the winner! @BreastCancerNow@delythjmorgan
Great to meet @HumzaYousaf alongside Jen @MyNewNormal_ to talk about the needs of patients with secondary breast cancer #ScottishCancerStrategy. It is vital that data collection is improved so that care and treatment can be better understood.
Today's @bbcr4today#ThoughtForTheDay was an important reminder of the stigma that can still surround breast cancer - thank you @jhuttijay.
We're here for everyone affected by breast cancer, this #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth and every month.
