The charity has many corporate partners and also builds commercially successful partnerships with a diverse range of companies. One of these partnerships is with the French company Damart, their partnership with Breast Cancer Campaign has raised nearly £98,000 since 2003 through sales of a limited edition pink thermal vest. Pink shorts and bed socks were added in 2008 to make a set with pink glitter over the knee socks added this year, modelled by glamorous Strictly Come Dancing star, Kristina Rihanoff.

The French brand is one of the most well known brands of thermal clothing. The founders were brothers and created a textile fibre called Thermolactyl, which they patented to produce thermal goods. 

Other companies that have helped the Charity with related marketing causes are ASDA’s Tickled Pink, Debenhams, Hallmark, Filofax UK, Pentel or  Lena White (OPI).
