William Mitchell fun day raises thousands for Rosemere Cancer Foundation

A pub in Morecambe has raised thousands for charity thanks to its family fun day.

The William Mitchell on Westgate raised £4,700 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation, thanks to the generosity of revellers who attended the event over the recent August Bank Holiday weekend.

The day included live music by artists who all gave their time for free, and stalls, hook-a-duck, lucky dip, a bouncy castle, face painting, and tombola.

There was also a sponsored head shave and a team member also completed a skydive.

Over the years, the pub has raised around £30,000 for the cause.

The Rosemere Cancer Foundation supports world-class cancer treatment throughout Lancashire and South Cumbria.

The organisation work in partnership with local clinical staff to achieve the best possible care for cancer patients in Lancashire and South Cumbria wherever they are treated, by:

: Funding cutting edge equipment to help clinicians remain at the forefront of the fight against cancer.

: Supporting innovative ways to take the fear out of cancer for patients and their families during their treatment, making it as comfortable and stress free as possible.

: Backing local research projects that help improve our understanding of cancer and how it can be better diagnosed and treated.

: Facilitating top quality training to help clinical staff treating cancer patients be the very best they can be.
