THE Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is urging people to "go green" next month to support its annual fundraising campaign.

Although its usual fundraising activities are unable to go ahead due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the charity is hoping the public will get inventive to play their part in helping to transform cancer care in the region.

The annual fundraising drive 'Let’s Go Green' takes place every February and sees iconic buildings and landmarks across Cheshire and Merseyside light up green, to show their support for the charity, which turns 25 this year.

Head of charity, Katrina Bury, said: “This year the charity turn 25 and last year we opened the doors to Liverpool’s very first cancer hospital, with so much to celebrate we'd really like people to get involved this February and support our Go Green campaign.

"Following a difficult year for the charity and with most of our fundraising activities cancelled, it would be fantastic to see people supporting 'Go Green'.

"Whilst conventional methods of fundraising aren't possible at this time, we have socially distanced alternatives and we hope people will be inventive and still contribute in any way they can.”
