We are enormously proud of our relationship with

Macmillan Cancer Support. Many of our generous

members have donated holidays in their lovely cottages,

which Macmillan then uses as auction or raffle prizes to

raise funds for the important work they do.

In addition, there has been a

lot of running, cycling,

walking, eating and drinking

(all those sponsored coffee

mornings, lunches and

dinners add up to lots of

eating and drinking!), which

have all added funds to the

coffers. Having started with a

modest target of £10,000,

since the start of our

partnership we have now raised more than £120,000for this fantastic charity!

The money raised helps Macmillan in its important work in

cancer care, where it really does make a difference for so

many people, so we are delighted to continue supporting

them this year. To find out more visit www.macmillan.org.uk
