This week, a thief stole a charity box from our shop on Palmerston Street, Bollington. The box had been in our shop for many years to raise money for The Christie - Cancer in Manchester.

We've requested a replacement box, but in the meantime,  we thought that we'd create a JustGiving site to raise funds to try to replace most of the money that has been stolen.

What makes it even worse is earlier this week our family suffered a heartbreaking blow when a well-loved family member passed away after suffering from cancer. He passed away whilst being comforted by the wonderful team at The Christie.

Any donation that you can make would be much appreciated.

Messrs Heathcote and Family.
