Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
Following the cancellation of our event in 2020, Strictly Top Dancer 2022 is taking place in the International Convention Centre Wales on Saturday 17th September 2022, and the countdown is on!
This fabulous annual competition is to raise money to support the Breast Centre Appeal at Llandough Hospital which is one of the main appeals of Cardiff & Vale Health Charity. Over the last 6 years the success of Strictly Top Dancer has raised over £120,000 for the Breast Centre Appeal and we would love to increase this phenomenal amount this year!
The Breast Centre treats between 450 - 500 new breast cancer patients every year, for initial investigations, follow-up treatment and patients returning for results. At a time when patients may be very anxious they tell us it makes a huge difference to them to have a streamlined service with everything under one roof.
The Breast Centre Appeal raised the money to build the Centre which is designed around the needs of our patients. The Centre houses out-patient clinics and diagnostic radiology services together. Patients can have a mammogram or ultrasound and get their results on the same day, then if further investigations are needed these can also be carried out.
Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are used to provide special bras for mastectomy and reconstruction patients and offer complementary therapies, pamper evenings, lingerie evenings and style and confidence sessions for women having gone through treatment for breast cancer.
Donations have also provided physiotherapists for one on one sessions as an exercise prescription service, the first of its kind in Wales, and a private gym for our patients having surgery for breast cancer.
