More money will be raised for Cancer Research by staff at The Vale Housing Association who are taking part in a national "Big Breakfast".
On Friday 1st March, Association staff will start the day by tucking into a great tasting breakfast. By making a contribution to charity, they will be offered a choice of breakfasts ranging from a light Continental to a full English feast. The aim of the day is to raise money for charity and show that healthy eating can be fun eating.
The Big Breakfast is a national event which, this year, is jointly organised by the Cancer Research Campaign and the Imperial Cancer Research Fund now jointly referred to as "Cancer Research UK". Last year a staggering £200,000 was raised which was considerably more than the year before.
Steve Russell, Director of Finance and Administration for The Vale Housing Association, explains: Last year's event was a great success but we're hoping that this year's breakfast will be even bigger and better. Staff are looking forward to the day as it gives them a chance to enjoy good food whilst raising money for a worthwhile charity

The Vale Housing Association's Big Breakfast is also receiving support from people living and working in the locality. A local farmer is kindly donating eggs for use at the Hanney Office and builders working on the construction site adjacent to the Abingdon Office are looking forward to a healthy breakfast to start their day.
