A Blackburn-based charity has donated £3000 to the Stars Appeal Breast Unit.
The Beat Breast Cancer charity aims to assist women affected by breast cancer by donating funds towards charities and hospitals who provide dedicated care towards those affected.
The charity has made several donations in the past including, £2,100 to the Linda McCartney Centre in Liverpool, £2,300 to Blackburn and Burnley hospitals and £3,000 to the University Hospital Southampton.
The latest £3,000 donation will go towards helping the Stars Appeal Breast Unit which is the first ever dedicated unit for breast patients at Salisbury District Hospital.
The Breast Unit provides facilities with dedicated diagnostic equipment, treatment and counselling rooms.
Rumaanah Ghantiwala a trustee at Beat Breast Cancer said: “We thought that Salisbury District Hospital’s Breast Cancer unit was a very worthwhile cause to donate to as they make a huge difference to people’s lives.
“With generous donations made by Clothes Relief which has enabled us to make this gesture. Please visit our website www.beatbreastcancer.org.uk and visit our Instagram page @beatbreastcanceruk to see our latest updates. Please help us by donating and help us make a difference.”
Money raised by friends and families from the Beat Breast Cancer charity has been donated to the Liverpool Linda McCartney centre.
The Beat Breast Cancer charity aims to assist women affected by breast cancer by donating funds towards charities and hospitals dedicated to providing dedicated care.
A cheque for £2,100 was presented by medical student Rumaanah Ghantiwala, a trustee at Beat Breast Cancer.
She said: “I have come to realise that through education, donations and volunteering we can make a huge difference to the healthcare provided to breast cancer patients.
“The money donated is to allow hospitals to provide equipment and awareness to ensure the early detection of breast cancer as many times it can go undetected.”
Trustees of the Beat Breast Cancer charity said it was their way of giving back to the NHS and made donations to Blackburn and Burnley hospitals.
The money will go towards different areas of healthcare to support the breast cancer units. This can range from contributions towards equipment, to even simple things such new hospital gowns which have been made different to the usual ones given in hope to bring more positivity and life to the wards.
Rumaanah Ghantiwala said, “As a medical student at the University of Liverpool, I have come to realise the huge difference we can make to the healthcare provided whether that’s through means such as education, donations, or volunteering.
“Whilst on my break in my Cardiology placement, I decided to visit the Oncology ward where many of the patients were undergoing chemotherapy. Seeing the change in atmosphere between the wards gave me the motivation to make a change.
“Our goal is to grow our charity allowing us to raise more awareness to ensure early detection of breast cancer as many times it can go unnoticed.”
The donation was made last week with the full support of their grandparents who are encouraging them to raise more money.
