The cheque, which Freda and Edith presented at CancerCare’s monthly coffee morning at Slynedales on Slyne Road, included funds raised throughout 2017.

Freda and Edith also give talks, organise outings and host an annual holiday to Scotland for the community.

Neil Townsend, chief executive of CancerCare, praised the ladies’s efforts.
