WE would like to thank everyone in Colwall and Malvern who helped to raise £11,813 for the Worcestershire Breast Unit Campaign.

This really was a fantastic community effort, and the money will be used to provide state-of-the-art imaging equipment that will enhance the mammogram procedure.

Local retailers, restaurateurs and beauty salons all played a crucial part in the campaign, and in total donated 45 superb raffle prizes which inspired so many of us to buy raffle tickets. The raffle alone raised over £5,000.

The Malvern Spa joined in and arranged a triathlon, which was a great success.

Thanks must go to Huw Watson and Helen Rogers, co-owners of the Malvern Spa, and the Colwall Park Hotel for allowing us the use of superb facilities and providing raffle prizes.

Finally, a huge thank-you to Blue Cedar Homes for leading the way and sponsoring brunch-and-bubbly at the Colwall Park Hotel.

Their generosity was a catalyst for so many others to follow suit, thus making this whole fundraising effort a great success.
