A HOMECARE provider is to hold a special event to boost awareness of breast cancer and raise funds for research into the disease.
Westmorland Homecare’s Preston branch will host a coffee morning and games day at its branch at 6 Chapel Street in the city on Friday, October 25.
“The day is open to everyone and will bring together the community to share knowledge of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, raise funds and celebrate the strength of those impacted by the disease,” said Liz Logan, the branch’s care manager.
“Whether people wish to participate in our fun activities, read or gather more information about inspiring survivor stories or simply show their support, their presence will make a difference.
“All proceeds will go towards funding life-saving research and providing essential services to patients and their families.
“Together we can promote early detection, support those affected and move closer to a future without breast cancer.”
The free event, from 10am to 4pm, will include coffee, cakes, games and bake sales. There will be lots of fun activities for people across the age spectrum, including ‘guess the weight of the cake’, ‘put the washing on the line’ and sweepstakes, with some spot prizes on offer.
