Seaton Sluice fish and chip shop raises £17,653 for Macmillan Cancer Support
One of Northumberland’s best-known fish and chip shops has raised over £17,000 to support people living with cancer.
The team at the Harbour View Fish and Chip Restaurant and Takeaway in Seaton Sluice have been fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Manager Sharron Carr has now announced that an impressive £17,653 has been donated to the charity, helping them to continue their vital work of supporting people affected by cancer.
The fundraising total is the result of the combined efforts of staff and loyal customers who have supported a range of fundraising activities.
Sharron said: “We know that one out of every two people will be affected by cancer during their lifetime, which means that many of our customers, friends and families will face the disease at some stage.
“We wanted to do something that could make a real difference to people going through what is often the toughest time of their lives. The amount we have collectively raised will go some way towards helping those in need.”
Macmillan Cancer Support provides practical, emotional, physical and financial support for people living with cancer and their families.
The charity also works to ensure that no one has to face a cancer diagnosis alone, offering advice and guidance throughout treatment and beyond.
Sharon added: “I’d like to thank our wonderful staff for all the enthusiasm they have shown and, of course, our fantastic customers whose generosity has made this possible.
"Every donation, no matter how small, has helped us reach this amazing total.”
