Generous shoppers and staff at The Body Shop in The Ashley Centre, Epsom have raised an incredible £1,400 for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity.
Store Manager Gina McNally said: “We have been astonished and delighted by people’s generosity. Shoppers have been offered free samples and facials in return for a donation to the charity and we have run prize draws. Many people put their change into the collection tin or when hearing about our fundraising gave us a donation. We are delighted to be able to give this money to such a worthwhile cause.”
Teenage Cancer Trust brings young people together so they can be treated together by teenage cancer experts. They educate young people about cancer and work with health professionals to develop their knowledge so they can improve the speed and quality of diagnosis. And by funding research and working with their partners in the NHS, government and organisations both nationally and internationally, Teenage Cancer Trust strives to improve survival rates.
