Santa’s Helpers Raise Over £400 for our Cars
Berwick Cancer Cars were invited by Cllr Anne Forbes to join Santa and his Elves on their annual visit to Berwick, we were delighted to take part in this wonderfully special event and three of our Cancer Cars followed the festive float through the chilly streets of Berwick.
Safeguarding Officer Nicola Warren organised our team of five Berwick Cancer Cars Drivers; our amazing “bucket shakers” Ruth McNeely and Garry Greenaway, with Trevor Standing, Louise Cockburn and Julie Nicholl driving our Cars. Thank you Cllr Anne Forbes, to all of Santa’s Helpers and to all those who so kindly donated on the evening, in total over £400 was collected in aid of our Cars!
