  • Donating a raffle prize for one of the various fundraising activities taking place throughout the week
  • Having a charity collection box for your staff and/or customers.

Frimley Park Hospital will match every £1 raised by this campaign and the organisers hope as many people as possible will support this campaign in Fleet to help towards the target of £750,000.

Why is the campaign taking place in October?

October is Breast Awareness month worldwide, a disease which affects men as well as women. The excellent breast team at Frimley strive to provide the 6,000 patients they see every year with a gold standard service.

It is alarming that in this are the incidence of breast cancer is higher than the national average rate of breast cancer and no-one knows why. In the last 3 years the number of breast cancers diagnosed at Frimley increased by 25%.
