It's Official - Cotswold Breakthrough becomes Cotswold Breast Cancer Now!

This week sees the launch of the UK’s largest breast cancer charity, Breast Cancer Now, created by the merger of leading research charities Breast Cancer Campaign and Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of this regional fundraising group, a Glamorous Garden Party (a collaboration with Linc) is being held at South Cerney Manor home of Laurence and Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen, patrons of both charities. The sell-out event on 3rd July will include a bring & buy plant stall, a fabulous raffle and a selection of live musical entertainment and stylish stalls. Acts will include The Femmes, MJ-UK Music & Arts (including Dan Holley of The Kingdom Tenors who reached the semi-final of Britain’s Got Talent this year), Lindsay Martin, George Montague and the fabulous Curious Little BIG Band. Welcome cocktails have been kindly sponsored by Whitley Neill Gin and Bottle Green Drinks which will be served in beautiful teacups from Cotswold Vintage Party Hire.

The group was set up in 2005 by Eira Hooper and Amanda Homan-Green of Cirencester, when Eira was diagnosed with this hideous disease. “We decided to focus our energy and do something positive to help create a future free from the fear of breast cancer for our daughters and future generations,” said Amanda.  “Sadly Eira lost her fight in 2008 but thanks to our wonderful and dedicated patrons and committee members, who volunteer their time tirelessly, we continue the fight that Eira started by organising fun fundraising events throughout the year. What's more, every penny raised will go towards helping Breast Cancer Now fund their vital research and help us to achieve their ambition to put an end to breast cancer by 2050”.

To support Cotswold Breast Cancer Now please contact Amanda on 01285 771137 or email CotswoldBreastCancerNow@gmail.com.
