Anna Hadjivassiliou, from Breast Care Now, gave a presentation at our Zoom meeting to thank Bradgate Rotary for the money we have raised for the charity with the two most recent Freeze Your Bits and Bobs Off walk through Bradgate Park in January this year and last.
Club treasurer Lesley Trivett reported that it is likely that a little more might yet come in if our Gift Aid claim is approved by His Majesty’s Customs and Excise.
One of Anna’s slides showed how the Breast Care will use the money donated.
President Nicki Little praised the efforts of all those people who took part in the walks, particularly in January 2026, when the weather was icy.

And, of course, keep coming back to Bradgate Rotary’s website, where we will keep you informed of the events we hold for fun and for charities.
