It is not always possible to list every event on the Events Calender but Bradford Cancer Support would like to thank everyone who has become involved in raising funds towards The Daisy Appeal. We love to hear about your efforts and acknowledge that sometimes it is difficult to keep up momentum when you are putting your fundraising ideas into practice. If you would like to talk over an idea for an event or fundraising activity then please call Linda Enderby on 01274 776688 who will discuss ways in which we may be able to support you.

We are able to design and print posters, produce tickets, where possible promote your event on the website and in some cases involve the local press!

Please dont sit on an idea, talk it over with us. Just that one step forward could help us to support cancer patients and their families in a new Cancer Support Centre with the facilities they need to feel safe and supported in. Call now to make a difference...........

Happy New Year to you all.

We have updated the funds raised for the Daisy Appeal and are delighted to report that the total as at the 17th June 2008 is £1.32 million towards our goal of £1.4 million which is a fantastic result for our service users and everyone who has supported the charity.
This leaves just the small challenge of raising the balance in 2008 which we willingly accept and hope to achieve by the end of May 2008

Please accept our sincere thanks for your support and our best wishes to each and everyone of you for a happy and healthy year in 2008.

In 2007 John pledged a donation from Safestyle to help BCS to build their new Centre and his pledge was honoured yesterday when he presented a cheque for £5000 from his company to boost the funds raised to date for the Daisy Appeal.

this year for the official opening and we are delighted that he has agreed to do so.
Thankyou to all the team at Safestyle who helped to make this most welcome donation possible - to have your support means a lot to us.
