Cathy Jalal Bonnard, of Garden Glamping, Kelly Simmons, of Pink Peony Weddings, and Vicky Copson-Garman, of the Jolly Hucksters mobile bar company, held a prize draw before Christmas and hope to inspire others to support causes which may be struggling.

Kelly said: “I am really proud to have been part of the giveaway in aid of fundraising for breast cancer. It’s a subject close to my heart and we were proud to contribute towards this fantastic giveaway at a time when fundraising is so difficult.”

Cathy said: "We wanted to give something back to a good cause, so we decided to choose a charity close to our hearts; we all know people who have had breast cancer.

“Charities have been suffering because of Covid-19. They haven’t been able to fundraise on the same scale, while there will be some women who have had their treatment delayed.”
