Bracknell

The Mayor of Bracknell Forest will be helping a garden centre's fundraising efforts grow on Sunday when he officially opens a month-long programme of charitable events.

Bracknell Cllr Clifton Thompson will be supporting breast cancer awareness month when he joins staff at Moss End Garden Village on Sunday for the launch of its Pink October fundraising programme.

He will be lending his support to the centre in Warfield, which is running a series of events and special offers throughout October, to raise cash for Breast Cancer Care - a charity which provides help, support and advice to breast cancer suffers.

The first event, which Cllr Thompson will be attending, is a car boot sale on Sunday - which will run from 9am to 3pm. Bracken and Bramble will also be on hand from 11am to 2pm to give out horse rides to youngsters.

Cllr Thompson said: "I am very pleased to be able to go along and support Moss End's fundraising efforts for a very worthy charity.

"It is important that organisations like Moss End carry out such fundraising events because charities, like Breast Cancer Care, do rely on the generosity of people digging deep in their pockets and donating cash."
