Breast Research and Support (BRAs)

Following on from the highly successful Breast Care Appeal, we are raising money to enable Frimley Park Hospital to carry out research into breast cancer. On behalf of the breast team I would like to announce a new charity ‘BRAS’.

 

 

Here we are at the launch event held at The Aviator in October 2019. I am very grateful for our patients, who’s courage is the teams main driver to look to the future in confidence. We have celebrated a successful fundraising campaign of three years and the amazing spirit of giving of our community.

Many have already helped; individuals, patients and their relatives, companies and retailers. Sally and Kim and their families from Fleet, were the main drivers of the hard work during the fundraising, when they rallied a whole community by painting ‘Fleet Pink’, for a whole week. And we are so lucky to have them back with us again on this appeal.

If you would like to help us by hosting a fundraising event, we would love to hear from you and help you in any way we can.

Donations gratefully received at our Just Giving page.

Thank you.

Surrey Heath Mayors Ball 2019

I was honored to be invited to this year’s Surrey Heath Mayors Ball at the Royal Military Acadamy Sandhurst (RMAS), where I represented the Frimley Health Charity Breast Appeal; one of three chosen charities that the Mayor is supporting this year. Thank you for all you have and continue to fundraise. These much-needed funds will go to equipping our new Breast Unit with state-of-the-art equipment to help diagnose and treat breast cancer much sooner for our local population.

Surrey Heath Mayor visit

On 30th July 2018, we were visited by the Surrey Heath Mayor as the Frimley Health Charity Breast Care Appeal  is one of his chosen charities this year. He was impressed to hear of our plans to develop a stand alone breast cancer unit to include a 3D mammography machine at Frimley Park Hospital right here in Surrey Heath. The clarity of images from this new machine will help the breast care team to diagnose cancer & other abnormalities at an earlier stage. The ground works for the new build are due to start imminently and I will update build progress as it happens.
