WORKERS at Darlington's Lingfield Point business park have united to raise more than £250 for Breast Cancer Research UK.
Staff from many of Lingfield Point's businesses paid £1 to wear an item of pink clothing to celebrate Wear it Pink day and a feast of pink foods were on offer at Point Break, the on-site cafe. Enamel badges, pinkie rings and bracelets were also sold.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the UK after non-melanoma skin cancer. More than 41,000 cases are diagnosed every year and breast cancer claims the lives of 12,700 women each year in the UK.
Eddie Humphries, estate manager at Lingfield Point said: "Lingfield Point is very much a community and this was an ideal opportunity for everyone to get involved in supporting a very good cause.
"We're delighted to have been able to raise so much money for a very worthwhile charity. Everyone on site was certainly in the pink and it brightened up a very wet and miserable week."
