Culcheth businesses come together for charity

ANHAR and the team at The Raj restaurant, Culcheth, chose to celebrate their first birthday in their new home by hosting a fundraiser for The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, the local cancer hospital.
The night of entertainment, including Bollywood dancers, henna tattoo artists and live music, was a total sell out. A superb raffle and auction, supported by businesses in the village raised over £1,200 on the night.
The team at The Raj very generously, donated £10 per ticket sale bringing the total raised on the night to over £2,600.
Jade Barrett, Area Fundraising Manager said “I was totally blown away by the support shown for our cause, by every business in the village. All manner of shops, hairdressers, cafes and florists donated really fantastic raffle prizes helping us raise so much on the night.
“Visiting each business to collect the prizes, I realised everybody had heard about the night and most had tickets, Anhar and his team at The Raj are certainly very popular and we are so grateful to them for their hard work in creating such a successful charity night. The total raised is incredible, thank you so much to everybody involved.”
The money raised on the night will be spent helping fund pioneering cancer research projects, equipment and support services for over 30,000 patients each year. The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre treats patients not only at Wirral and Liverpool, but also at a network of chemotherapy clinics across the region, including one in Halton General Hospital.
In addition to the amazing care already provided, The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre have exciting plans to build Liverpools first dedicated cancer hospital. This new hospital will provide expert care, ground-breaking research and clinical trials on the same site as the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and the University of Liverpool.
