The Co-op Funeralcare in Newton Aycliffe have donated a cheque for £1000 to Great Aycliffe Cancer Support Group. Founder Allison White said: “We would like to say a huge thank you from the group which is getting bigger meaning there are more cancer patients and their families struggling in our community”. The money will be used on social outings and courses for people to learn a hobby or interest so they can keep focussed on something positive while going through treatment. There are several members doing a Basic IT course and just those few sessions have made such a positive impact on their lives. Its also good for when people are too poorly to work but still want to do something.
