A breast cancer charity is holding a Healthy Living Day to provide support and information for North-East people affected by the illness.

The event, at the St George Hotel, near Teesside International Airport, Middleton St George, near Darlington, is designed primarily for women diagnosed with cancer to learn more about complementary therapies that can be used either during or after medical treatment.

Breast Cancer Care, which hosts Healthy Living Days nationwide, has organised the event in partnership with breast care nurses at County Durham & Darlington Acute Hospital NHS Trust.

The day starts at 9.30am on Monday, May 24. To reserve a free place, call Melanie Larder on (0114) 276 0296.
