A Blackburn-based charity has donated £3000 to the Stars Appeal Breast Unit.

The Beat Breast Cancer charity aims to assist women affected by breast cancer by donating funds towards charities and hospitals who provide dedicated care towards those affected.

The charity has made several donations in the past including, £2,100 to the Linda McCartney Centre in Liverpool, £2,300 to Blackburn and Burnley hospitals and £3,000 to the University Hospital Southampton.

The latest £3,000 donation will go towards helping the Stars Appeal Breast Unit which is the first ever dedicated unit for breast patients at Salisbury District Hospital.

The Breast Unit provides facilities with dedicated diagnostic equipment, treatment and counselling rooms.

Rumaanah Ghantiwala a trustee at Beat Breast Cancer said: “We thought that Salisbury District Hospital’s Breast Cancer unit was a very worthwhile cause to donate to as they make a huge difference to people's lives.
