The Amazon Breast Cancer Support Group, which helps breast cancer patients at King’s Mill Hospital, Sutton, has been able to buy 20 new, more comfortable chairs for patients and carers at the Welcome Treatment Centre thanks to two donations.

A spokesman said: “Carers sit with patients while they receive their often lengthy treatments.

“The cost was over £2,700 and the Amazons were helped greatly with two separate donations of £1,000 from Stanton Hill Co-op and £1,200 from a personal donation.

“The Amazons send a big thank you to them and to all their supporters.”
