Macmillan Celebrate Charity's Centenary |
||||
Champagne, legendary canapés and W5 Wind Quintet make for a wonderful annual garden party
The Chiswick Committee of Macmillan Cancer Support
The Tombola raised over £1,000 and the auction over £3,000. One of the star prizes auctioned was the services of the committee in catering for a Buffet Lunch or Cocktail Party. The whole event raised a total of around £7,500, which compares with
the very successful Both amounts will be used to help fund the training of a Neuro Oncology Nurse Specialist to advise and support patients with cancers of the brain or nervous system. As all Macmillan Nurses she/he will give her/his services not only to the patient but to the relatives, families and friends. Committee chairman, Carol Woolner said: "I am really proud of what our team has achieved over the past few years. We have grown from a handful of house wives having Coffee Mornings and Bridge Suppers into a team of well organised fund raisers who still have Coffee Mornings, but now have events which people ask about and put in their diaries and really enjoy coming to. "They give us their money because it gives them pleasure and they have a good time, and they know it's really making a difference to people living with cancer."
