A cancer support charity is appealing to residents and businesses to help cover the cost of delivering letters of encouragement to cancer patients this Christmas.

The charity, From Me To You, delivers to patients at Worcestershire Breast Haven Unit, with over 2,500 letters received this month.

Co-Founder, Alison Hitchcock, said: "We are the victim of our own success with our Christmas appeal - generating thousands of donated letters from kind-hearted people.

"We now need to raise the funds to get them into the hands of those who need them."

Donations can be made via the charity’s Just Giving page (https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/xmasfmty).
