Fundraisers from the Lowestoft-based Lauren Lou appeal, which continues to raise money and awareness in aid of cancer charities and local deserving causes, have been boosted by a street collection.

Last Friday, August 25 the Team Lauren Lou cancer fundraising group held a street collection in Beccles town centre as funds were raised for Breast Cancer Care.

With £315.10 raised on the day, Gary Bennett, of Team Lauren Lou, said: 'Thank you to my volunteers who continue to support what I do to help others and thank you to the very kind donating public.'
