North Wales MS joins Asda Tickled Pink Fundraisers

A North Wales Member has joined Asda Tickled Pink fundraisers to help bring attention to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Since it was formed in 1996, Tickled Pink has raised more than £100 million for breast cancer charities.

Now, working with Asda’s charity partners, Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!, Tickled Pink is funding better treatments, vital education and life-changing support, for anyone who needs it.

In-store fundraising has always been key to the success of Tickled Pink.

Throughout the year, but particularly during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, Asda colleagues and customers come together to raise vital funds through a variety of activities in including bucket collections, raffles, bake sales, tombolas, and themed dress-up days.

Many Asda stores also host colleague challenges and competitions to engage their team and encourage donations.

Welsh Conservative MS Mark Isherwood recently joined fundraisers at Asda Queensferry to hear more about the vital work of Tickled Pink, and to support their fundraising efforts.

Speaking after his visit, Mr Isherwood, who earlier this week attended the ‘wear it pink for Breast Cancer Now’ event in the Senedd, said: “It was a real pleasure to meet local Staff here at Asda Queensferry and hear about everything they’ve done to support Tickled Pink.

“It’s fantastic to see how their efforts have contributed to the £100m that has been raised nationally.

“Tickled Pink is an incredibly important cause, deserving of support from residents across North Wales during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Each year, hundreds of brands create limited-edition Tickled Pink items, with a donation from every purchase going to Breast Cancer Now and CoppaFeel!.

These products, which are on offer throughout October, not only raise vital funds but also help spread awareness of the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
