Fundraising group helping people through cancer celebrates collecting more than £75,000

The Lingen Davies Shrewsbury Fundraising Committee was established just three years ago by a dedicated group of supporters who have organised a wide variety of events including lunches, coffee mornings, raffles, quizzes and bingo nights.

To date the small team has helped raise an incredible £77,000 to boost the work of the regional charity, which supports those impacted by cancer across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid Wales.

Angela Hill, chair of the committee, said: “To date we have raised this amazing amount of money through hard work and dedication – we have had a lot of laughs along the way and long may it continue to thrive.

“We are a group of like-minded individuals who have been touched by cancer in some form or another and who have wanted to come together to raise additional income for the charity.

“We are all volunteers who organise events in our own time and make contact with the local community to ask for raffle and auction prizes,” she added.
