Assistant Refereeing Masterclass (13th June 2026)
The Referees' Association are pleased to announce that we will be having a Zoom session with Breast Cancer UK on Thursday 26th March at 7:30pm.

At Breast Cancer UK, we believe in a future where fewer people have to face breast cancer as we know that at least 30% of breast cancers are preventable through lifestyle and environmental factors. We exist to make that potential a reality: by empowering people with knowledge, driving evidence-based research, and campaigning for systemic change. Our breast cancer prevention education talk provides an overview of how breast cancer can occur and how common it is, ​identifies known risk factors that can and cannot be changed​, shares information on lifestyle changes that can help reduce your risk of breast cancer ​and demonstrates tools which can support your journey to reduce your risk.
