A newly formed charity group, Help Beat Cancer, successfully held their first event at the Pines Hotel, Clayton-le-Woods. Former members of Great Eccleston and District Friends of Cancer Research UK launched their new group and raised £900 from the sale of tickets and a raffle.
Members from Cancer Research UK attended to help launch the charity and guest speaker was Dr Allan Jordan, of the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute.
