A Saxmundham care agency transformed their head office into a pink paradise last week (30th October) which saw generous staff raise £172 for Breast Cancer Campaign as part of the annual Wear it Pink appeal.  

Staff at Christies Care took part in the appeal by making a donation to the charity, in exchange for dressing up in pink clothing. Further funds were raised through a raffle which saw an array of fabulous prizes including a bouquet of flowers, perfume, and luxury beauty products.

Wear it Pink has become a fixture in the Christies Care charitable calendar and since 2004, generous donations to various breast cancer charities have topped £1,400.

Debbie Ratcliffe, who organised the day said of the donations; “Wear it Pink is a cause that is close to our hearts, and it is the highlight of our charitable activities throughout the year. We are absolutely delighted to have raised over £1,400 over the past 5 years, as it is a fantastic cause.”

The money raised throughout the Wear it Pink campaign will be used to help fund world class research into breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
