Chartwell House by Boutique Care Homes is celebrating following the overwhelming success of their Breast Cancer Awareness Day. This important event, held in support of Breast Cancer Now’s Wear it Pink campaign, not only raised an impressive £336.00 but also highlighted the critical importance of regular breast checks for all genders.
