Life Skills committed to one whole month, Sugar-Free between 9am-3pm and as a result they fundraised £45 for Cancer Research Wales. Katie Killoran visited Life Skills this week to talk about cancer research in Wales which was very interesting, the money fundraised will go into the Wales research pot.

She reminded the group that by living a healthy life, especially eating the vegetables and fruit every day does help keep the bacteria in the gut healthy allowing our bodies to fight better against diseases such as Cancer. Cancer Research has also invited us Life Skills to volunteer in their shops and help out at event days.

Well done to Life Skills for fundraising for such a worthy cause, they even baked sugar-free desserts in order to encourage a healthier diet.

A successful fundraising event all round!
