GROUPS and workplaces are being urged to support breast cancer with a strawberry tea.
Breast Cancer Care is urging people to get involved with a mass fund-raising campaign over a cuppa and a scone.
Participants are asked to fund raise with either an afternoon tea event, or to enjoy the summer with a simple spread of strawberries and cream.
Groups who register and take part will make a difference to the 55,000 people diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
A spokeswoman for Breast Cancer Care said: “We all know someone who’s been affected by this awful disease but the charity provides fantastic support including a freephone helpline, online forums and face to face support which help people every step of the way.”
To take part, groups can register to host their own fund-raising strawberry tea until Saturday, August 31.
