“A team from Active Nation also came down to support us. They very kindly lent us the exercise bike for the day and wanted to raise awareness for health and well-being.

“We also had a guess how many sweets are in the jar and tombola activity. It was a really successful event and we managed to raise a fantastic £262.57 in five hours. We would like to say a huge thank you to all of the really generous customers.

“One in four people who receive treatment from Breast Cancer Care has been funded from Tickled Pink.

“We think this a fantastic achievement and we will continue to raise money and awareness to support the Breast Cancer Care goal and this is to ensure that by 2050 no-one will die from breast cancer."
