At Visiting Angels North West Kent, community care and awareness are at the heart of what we do. That’s why, on October 15th, we were honored to host a special Breast Cancer Support Event at The Lounge in Acacia Hall, Dartford. The event aimed to empower, educate, and connect individuals by providing valuable resources and opportunities to support breast cancer awareness in North West Kent.
Event Purpose and Key Highlights
Breast Cancer Support Event was designed to make an impact in several essential ways, including:
- Getting Free Information from local charities and healthcare providers
- Connecting with Others affected by breast cancer
- Receiving Guidance from Healthcare Professionals about breast cancer
- Discovering Charity and Volunteer Opportunities for meaningful involvement
- Learning about Prevention and Early Detection
- Gaining Knowledge to support yourself or loved ones through breast cancer journeys
A Warm and Supportive Gathering
Held at The Lounge, Crossways Community Church in Dartford, our Breast Cancer Support Event welcomed many community members. With organizations like The Primrose Center, Crossroad Kent, Macmillan Cancer Support, and One You Kent on behalf of Dartford Council’s health team, participants received trusted guidance and resources. Our space became a warm, supportive environment where individuals affected by breast cancer could connect, share, and learn together.
Honoring Our Community’s Fighters
The event held a special purpose as a tribute to three of our beloved members currently facing breast cancer. Their strength and resilience inspire our mission at Visiting Angels North West Kent, reminding us daily of the importance of early detection, community support, and access to the right resources. These amazing women are a testament to the power of courage and community, and it was a privilege to honor them.
Fun, Fundraising, and Community Impact
A highlight of the day was a tombola activity, where attendees enjoyed the chance to win prizes while raising £50 for The Primrose Center. This fundraising success reflected our collective commitment to supporting breast cancer charities and added a joyful, engaging element to the event. Through such activities, we continues to foster a community-focused approach that goes beyond traditional elder care.
