 The Nightingale Centre, Wythenshawe Hospital
Our Charity Event 30th December 2020 is for the benefit of Prevent Breast Cancer
Prevent Breast Cancer raised £2 million towards the building of The Nightingale Centre – Europe’s first purpose built breast cancer prevention centre.
Opened in July 2007, the building is situated on the University Hospital of South Manchester complex in Wythenshawe. It provides a base for one of the most ambitious breast cancer research programmes in Europe.
The Nightingale Centre offers a state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services to women and men with breast cancer and co-ordinates the NHS breast-screening programme for the Greater Manchester area.
Put it in your diary and lets all help to Prevent Breast Cancer!

In five months, together, we have raised more than £5,500 for various charities - your generous donations and a little extra from the County coffers, have made our Charity Wednesdays a huge success. We have received letters of sincerest thanks from all the recipients and I know we are making a huge difference. Thank you all.
Our next Charity Wednesday on 26th August will support The Nicky Alliance a charity addressing the needs of older and disabled people suffering from social isolation. They are locate at 85 Middleton Road, Crumpsall

Their Mission:
To support the individual, family and community by improving the quality of life of older, disabled and vulnerable people, helping maintain independence, reducing the need for residential care.

DON'T FORGET THAT ANYONE CAN REGISTER TO PLAY IN THIS EVENT AS LONG AS THEY MAKE THE MINIMUM DONATION. IT IS OPEN TO ANYONE FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!
Centrepoint supports over 2000 homeless young people in the Manchester area between the ages of 15 and 25 – desperate young people who need accommodation; additionally CENTREPOINT offers health support, life skills to get them back into education, training and employment and vitally, offers young people hope when despair is all they have known. So many tragic young lives at risk and CENTREPOINT is their refuge.
