CoppaFeel!, the UK’s only youth-focused breast cancer awareness charity, has chosen Rosterfy as their volunteer management solution.
At a crucial point in their growth, CoppaFeel! is investing in the technology to better support their vibrant community of volunteers - those who help spread the charity’s life-saving message through schools, colleges, workplaces, and local communities across the UK.
CoppaFeel! volunteers reached nearly 40,000 young people in 2024. Their programmes are led by an inspiring network of volunteers, many with lived experience of breast cancer, who help drive real, honest conversations around chest-checking and early detection.
“Our fantastic volunteers help drive our mission to educate, encourage and empower young people to know their bodies and end the late detection of breast cancer," said Kriste Thacker, Senior Programmes Manager at CoppaFeel!
“They meet young people where they are – starting real conversations about the importance of chest checking.”
Why Rosterfy?
Before selecting Rosterfy, CoppaFeel! had been using a variety of digital tools to manage different aspects of their volunteer programme. As the charity grew and the volunteer community expanded, so did the need for a more streamlined and user-friendly solution.
“What you end up with is a patchwork of systems which can at times be a lot to navigate for volunteers.” Kristie explained.
Rosterfy stood out as a platform that could do just that - with customisable journeys, automation, and a focus on user experience that matched CoppaFeel!’s values.
“Rosterfy impressed us with how customisable the platform is. Not just look and feel, but custom journeys and a range of automation options. The platform felt like a good fit for us and had really considered the user experience in its design, especially for some of the more complex processes we have,” Kristie continued.
An Exciting Journey of Growth Ahead
For CoppaFeel!, the journey ahead is all about growing, without losing the community feel that makes their work so special. With Rosterfy, they’re planning to reimagine how they onboard and engage volunteers, using automation to reduce admin and create a more seamless experience for everyone involved.
The team is particularly excited about the potential to offer more flexible ways for people to get involved - moving beyond traditional, recurring roles to new, creative forms of volunteering that meet people where they’re at. And by saving time behind the scenes, they’ll be able to reinvest more energy into supporting their amazing community of volunteers to do what they do best.
"We're excited (and slightly nervous!) to see how our volunteers experience a brand new platform!” Kristie said, “Longer term we can't wait to see how Rosterfy can support new ways of volunteering, aside from the more traditional, regular volunteering opportunities we currently offer."
"We also can't wait to see how much staff time we can save through using Rosterfy, to invest back into enabling our community to do brilliant things!”
Rosterfy General Manager, Casper Harratt, welcomed the partnership, stating:
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with CoppaFeel!. They’re a fantastic charity doing really high-impact work. We were all so excited to start working with them; they’re such a cool brand in the industry and are true innovators and disruptors."
"Their commitment to their community aligns perfectly with what we stand for at Rosterfy: making volunteering easier, more impactful, and more rewarding - for everyone involved.”
