Dr Faheem Shakur of Stonyhill Practice is behind the event.

Dr Shakur said: “Rosemere’s impact on our community is profound. Based at Royal Preston Hospital’s specialist cancer centre, they also extend support to oncology units across Barrow, Blackburn, Blackpool, Burnley, Chorley, Kendal, and Lancaster.

“Their work is dedicated to advancing cancer care through four core areas: specialist equipment, patient welfare, research, and staff training.

“With one in two people in the UK developing cancer at some point in their lives, every contribution counts. Whether you’re helping fund £200 for comfort items or contributing to the £237k needed for life-saving equipment, every donation makes a tangible impact on local patients and their families.

“Join us on 30 November to support this vital cause while enjoying health insights and connecting with your community.”
