"Directly or indirectly, we can all expect cancer to change everything for us one day, and when it does, Weston Park Cancer Charity is here to change everything too.

"Its services and advice are for patients and the family and friends close to them, helping everyone affected to live with and beyond cancer.

"The funds they raise also support vital, pioneering research and clinical trials led by the exceptional medical experts at Weston Park Cancer Centre.

"The charity aims to care in every sense for patients and family members, with them at every step, for free.

“Whether it's advice from healthcare professionals on symptoms or treatment, knowing what you're entitled to and applying for welfare benefits, or just wanting someone to talk to, they’re there and ready to listen."

The concert, which will feature local singer Jessica Mary Brett, will be held live on her Facebook page.
