For this year the Bromsgrove and Redditch SI have adopted this local charity as their main cause. A number of events are being held to raise desperately needed funds as well as members making donations to the shop run by the Primrose Hospice.

The centre is an independent charity, working alongside other help care agencies, offering an advisory and support service to mainly cancer patients, their families and friends.

The centre has a drop in service, offers complementary therapies, houses a library, holds a day care facility, provides support for the whole family and offers experienced carers to help with the practical and supportive aspects of managing illness at home.

The centre is based at St Godwalds Road, Bromsgrove and can be contacted on 01527 871051. It also has a 24 hour helpline number: 01527 878780
