People In Need of Kindness (PINK) is an organisation and registered charity which provides friendship, support, information, understanding and practical advice to anyone diagnosed or affected by breast cancer, as well as other forms of cancer.   

PINK monthly sessions include guest presentations, group discussions and social evenings in addition to twice yearly outings. Informal support is available on a one-to-one basis either face to face or by telephone; PINK Committee members also carry out hospital or home visits when required.

Initially called Mastectomy Association Grampian (MAG), the charity underwent a re-brand in 2003 to reflect the fact its services had broadened. It had originally supported women who had undergone a diagnosis of breast cancer, but members felt it important to extend the range of services to include anyone effected by the disease, directly or indirectly. The group was formed by the first prosthesis fitter at Aberdeen's Woolmanhill Hospital, in 1982. A number of it's early members continue to support the group, with some still attending regular events.

From an initial group of 20, PINK has a core membership of 87 people, and meets in CLAN House, the home of cancer support charity, Cancer Link Aberdeen and North (CLAN).
