Long time group friends and supporters Graham and Lisa Clarke are holding a fundraising and awareness day at their wonderful shop much2nice in the Orchard shopping centre, Taunton, when 10% of all sales on the day will be donated to Breakthrough!

If you’re in the area, please pop in and check out all the fab ladies gifts, handbags, jewellery and much much more.

For those that fancy a different way to show their support, members of Taunton Hair Nail and Beauty Training Academy will be on hand to apply Breakthrough themed nails!

Plus there will be hot dogs, coffee and even some choccies from Thorntons.

You may be lucky in the great prize draw, prizes include:
Tickets for Romeo & Juliet at the Brewhouse
Family ticket for Bristol Zoo
Animal Farm Adventure Park tickets
GRC Photography photoshoot
Donations from Tone Leisure, Hot Stuff and of course much2nice!

Our Somerset group founders, John and Christine, will be around handing out TLC cards and Julie’s Legacy leaflets, so if you’re nearby please stop and say Hi.

This is a great example of how people can get involved with Breakthrough, and October is of course "GO PINK!" Breast Cancer Awareness month,  when its even easier to make a difference.
