“The committee is excited to be organising an event that will bring people together to have a great day out, while raising money for local families touched by breast cancer.
“The local backing for our endeavour is fantastic. We’re truly grateful to all of the organisations and individuals who generously donate and sponsor our events throughout the year.
“Together, we can make a difference.”
