Founded as a closed Facebook group in 2014, Flat Friends UK became a registered charity two years later and is still the only one dedicated to supporting women facing or living with mastectomy without reconstruction, due to either a breast cancer diagnosis or preventative surgery.

The closed Facebook group currently has almost 1500 members and provides a safe, private, respectful and mutually supportive place for women to come together and talk about practical and emotional matters related to living flat, including clothing, and relationships in everyday life.

This is a selection of photographs I've taken at events we attended 2016-7 and for our 2017 Calendar project, which was dedicated to celebrating life and friendship. Every single woman involved in the calendar is a Flat Friend.
