Staff from TK Maxx in Fishergate, Preston, have presented Rosemere Cancer Foundation with a cheque for £2,500 for its 20 Years Anniversary Appeal.
The donation comes from a community fund the store chain operates. Colleagues can apply to the fund in support of local charities, which is just what former team leader Claire Miller did as a thank you for care her late father David Miller had received at Rosemere Cancer Centre.
Two other colleagues, who had also had family members treated at the centre, put their name to Claire’s application.
Claire, who now works for Lancashire Constabulary, returned to the store to join frontline controller Ilona Lipczyńska in handing over the cheque to Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s trust and corporate fundraising manager Cathy Skidmore.
Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s 20 Years Anniversary Appeal is funding a trio of ground-breaking projects celebrating the 20th anniversary of the opening of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust’s Rosemere Cancer Centre at the Royal Preston Hospital.
The centre is Lancashire and South Cumbria’s regional specialist cancer treatment centre. It provides all local radiotherapy treatment, specialist diagnostic services and surgery, complex chemotherapy and other highly specialised care.
Besides supporting Rosemere Cancer Centre, Rosemere Cancer Foundation funds projects to bring world class cancer treatment and services to another eight hospitals in Lancashire and South Cumbria where cancer patients are treated.
