Barnsley Hospital Charity are hosting a Strictly Come Dancing Event at Barnsley Civic on Tuesday 25th November to raise money for the Breast Care Appeal. I will be taking part in this along with other Barnsley business owners.

I have been assigned my own professional dance partner to teach me and given I have 2 left feet, he is going to have his work cut out! 😂

Doing something like this is so out of my comfort zone and I’m absolutely terrified so I really do appreciate your support ❤️

Details on the Breast Care Appeal are below:

Breast Care Appeal will support a transformation of our dedicated Breast Unit where patients receive breast care. Patients are seen by our specialist doctors, nurses and radiology team for consultations, imaging assessment and biopsies.

Around 7,381 patients are seen annually in the unit with a variety of symptoms, including breast lumps, nipple changes and lumps in the armpit. This equates to around 142 patients per week and, of those, an average of around 250 breast cancer patients are treated annually. Ongoing appointments such as with Breast Care Nurses, prosthetic expert and doctors take place within this unit.

We envision a healing space where sensitivity is at the heart of every detail. Imagine stepping into a serene waiting area, surrounded by calming scenes from nature. Comfortable seating will be arranged in small clusters, creating a welcoming environment where patients can feel at ease, even in their most vulnerable moments.
