Linda is on the local committee for Cancer Research UK and told us about her work.
She was accompanied by Nicky McKenna the employed Fund raiser in the North East.


It was explained that there is a research department at Newcastle Hospital which spends £10M per year on research.  There is no government funding for this and funds are raised by collections, Afternoon Teas, Coffee Mornings and generous donations from charitable organisations.  There are 200 different types of cancer, with the effects and treatment personal to every individual.
