Plea for Calderdale's shoppers to support cancer charity this festive season

While many businesses have been hit hard by the current pandemic, and charities like Macmillan facing huge shortfalls in fundraising, shoppers can support independent business and Macmillan Cancer Support whilst purchasing their Christmas gifts.

With many cancer services facing significant challenges as a result of Covid-19, the charity needs help now more than ever to ensure people living with cancer get the support they need.

Fundraising Manager for Macmillan Cancer Support, Adele Burrough, said, “This is a wonderful initiative.

"People can buy their loved ones some wonderful gifts, which are not only from independent businesses and brands, but a portion of the price comes directly to Macmillan services in West Yorkshire.”

The proportion of people living with cancer in Yorkshire is higher than almost anywhere else in England.

Services in West Yorkshire include Macmillan’s Information and Support Service, based at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary and Calderdale Royal Hospital.

The fair closes on December 6.
