Strictly Top Dancer was back with a bang last year, and teams have been eager to sign up for STRICTLY TOP DANCER 2023!! This year, this glitter filled event will be taking place at The Vale Resort, in the beautiful Vale of Glamorgan Countryside.

This fabulous annual dancing competition is held to raise money to support the Breast Centre Appeal at University Hospital Llandough which is one of the main appeals of Cardiff & Vale Health Charity. Over the last 7 years the success of Strictly Top Dancer has raised around £150,000 for the Breast Centre Appeal and we would love to increase this phenomenal amount again this year!

The Breast Centre treats between 450 - 500 new breast cancer patients every year, for initial investigations, follow-up treatment and patients returning for results. At a time when patients may be very anxious they tell us it makes a huge difference to them to have a streamlined service with everything under one roof. The Breast Centre Appeal raised the money to build the Centre which is designed around the needs of our patients. The Centre houses out-patient clinics and diagnostic radiology services together. Patients can have a mammogram or ultrasound and get their results on the same day, then if further investigations are needed these can also be carried out.

Donations have enabled funding for physiotherapists at the Breast Centre to provide one on one sessions as an exercise prescription service, the first of its kind in Wales. We have also been able to outsource fitness groups outside the breast centre to enable patients to meet and exercise together, and have been able to purchase state of the art equipment and technology to enable remote sessions to be run for patients not able to attend sessions in person. The Breast Centre also houses an in-house private gym, equipped with funds from the Breast Centre Appeal.

Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are also used to provide special bras for mastectomy and reconstruction patients and offer complementary therapies, pamper evenings, lingerie evenings and style and confidence sessions for women having gone through treatment for breast cancer.

Your generosity makes a real difference, and all money raised will directly support this fabulous and ongoing work at the Breast Centre, University Hospital Llandough.
