Cancer Research UK in West Street – which this autumn is marking 30 years of raising funds to treat and prevent cancer – will hold its latest fundraiser on Saturday, October 24.

“Throughout autumn our stores will be raising awareness of the need to Stand Up To Cancer by taking innovative treatments from laboratories into clinical trials and hospitals.”
To support this, new shop manager, Chloe Bristow, and her team will hold a children’s lucky dip and other games for children including tick or treat pumpkin, pin the spider on the web and knocking down tin cans, while there will be an adult raffle for a hamper full of goodies.
The shop will also be full of clothes, homeware , Christmas gift ideas and our Cancer Research UK charity Christmas cards.

“Please support by joining us on the day.”
