We are raising funds for The Well & Wellbeing, which provides complementary therapy sessions such as massage, reiki & acupuncture for Cancer patients who have been referred by Barnsley Hospital. It also gives an opportunity for partners/carers to relax and be part of these sessions too.

The Well heavily relies on donations to keep running, so anything at all you can spare will be very much appreciated.
