At TONIBOBANDLOU CIC, we empower women, inspire confidence, and drive change by developing and delivering innovative social projects.
It is both Toni and Lou's unique ability to listen, foster collaboration and actively engage the community which has enabled them to deliver initiatives like the Book of Boobs (BOB), BeliEVE, and now BRAVE.
Project BRAVE (BOB Research and Vital Education) is the first meaningful pilot of the 'Book of Boobs' in Oxfordshire. We are about to trial the 'Book of Boobs' in patient information support group and private clinical settings.
At the heart of our initiatives, such as the 'Book of Boobs' and 'Project BeliEVE', lies our commitment to empowering women and enabling informed decision-making. Through these projects and beyond, we intentionally collaborate with partners to address and solve complex challenges.
We inspire confidence through our unique blend of skills and positivity, driven by our dedication as women supporting women. Our determination to get things done is matched by our strong ethical work values, ensuring every project we undertake is delivered with integrity and care.
Informed by insights from initiatives like ‘Project BeliEVE’ and the ‘Book of Boobs,’ we proactively collaborate with patients, the healthcare industry, and support organisations. We are dedicated to transforming the narrative and instilling hope through our patient-led projects.
