\n Withnell Health Centre hosted a coffee morning and raffle to support the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Breast Cancer Research and Breast Cancer Now.\n<\/p>\n
\n To raise the funds they baked and donated cakes for the coffee morning, which was organised to coincide with the surgery\u2019s Saturday flu jab clinic. They also gifted raffle prizes.\n<\/p>\n
\n The health centre serves not just Withnell but a number of neighbouring villages.\n<\/p>\n
\n Medical secretary, Trisha Foote, said: \u201cAll the health centre\u2019s staff \u2013 doctors, nurses, administration staff \u2013 were involved in the fundraising as were many of our patients.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe look after 5,500 patients from the Withnell, Brinscall, Abbey Village and Wheelton areas.\n<\/p>\n
\n “We fundraise annually for charity and have supported many causes but for the last three years, we have focused on breast cancer.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Rosemere Cancer Foundation funds projects that help breast cancer patients locally and is also a cause close to many staff and patients\u2019 hearts.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Fundraising assistant for Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Hannah Leahy, said: \u201cWe are extremely grateful for our share of the funds raised by the staff and patients of Withnell Health Centre.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Every penny will stay locally to help people in our community currently undergoing cancer treatment.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
