How this cause brings people in the community together
By having a suitable vehicle we will be able to develop links to the wider community by taking services and information out to people who do not have their own transport or cannot afford to attend a central location. The vehicle will allow the charity to link in with community hubs and promote the important message around breast awareness and be able to increase screening rates.
