Breast Cancer Haven announced this week that it was suspending its services after the effects of the crisis reduced its income significantly . It is believed to be the first charity to fold due to the fundraising shortfall from Covid – but it is already having knock-on effects after another charity, Future Dreams, said it was now left to pick up Breast Cancer Haven s services.
