Staff and residents in the pink for cancer awareness at Bulwell care home

More than 55,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.

Breast Cancer Awareness month is a chance for people to Wear It Pink, get involved in raising funds and find out more about how to check themselves and what to do if they find any symptoms of breast cancer.

Staff and residents at Hall Park spent time coming together to raise funds by wearing it pink and holding a pink-themed bake sale.

Jodie Rakhra, general manager, at the home, said: “Breast cancer is a cause close to many of our staff and residents’ hearts so everyone was keen to take part in fundraising activities and do their bit.

"We are proud to donate the money we raised by our staff paying to wear pink and our cake sale to help fund research and try to make a difference.”
