Lakeside raise thousands of pounds for two breast cancer charities in Thurrock

LAKESIDE Shopping Centre have raised £7000 for two breast cancer charities with various fundraising events.

General Manager, Steve Chandler, presented cheques for £3500 to the Lady McAdden Breast Screening Unit and the Helen Rollason Heal Cancer Charity.

Linda Harrison, General Manager at Lady McAdden, said: “Donations of this magnitude are extremely important to us and we cannot thank Lakeside, and its shoppers, enough for supporting us.

“With technology continually changing we need to regularly update our equipment and this comes at a high cost, for example, over the next few years we’ll be investing around £250,000 in one digital imaging x-ray machine.

“The money raised by Lakeside will go a long way and I’d like to offer my heartfelt thanks to everyone for their efforts and generosity. ”
