This year, we have been supporting local charity CancerCare. Over the past twelve months, we’ve played at the start of their Cross Bay Walk, done a Christmas Busk, held sales of pre-loved costumes, and finished fundraising year with a busk in Bowness on 23 March, where we collected £422, making the total for the year £1,283!
We welcomed Lisa Lambert from CancerCare to our practice on 31 March for an official presentation.
"To raise £1283 is wonderful and an absolutely phenomenal amount for our charity. The funds you have raised will make a difference straight away, supporting local people affected by cancer or bereavement with the professional help, emotional support, and collective strength to face whatever's next. Your fundraising will help to ensure that no one in our community has to face cancer or loss alone. We really cannot thank you enough for making this possible.
"We look forward to working with you again in the future and wish you the best of luck on your other fundraising, we are sure the next charities you help will love every second of working with you just
as we have."
