On the weekend of 23rd/24th October 2021, the team at Splash Central are hosting -‘Splash of Pink’ – a weekend of events all raising funds and awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and all directly in aid of the Breast Centre Appeal.
Events will include a sponsored family swim and a sponsored aqua marathon. There will also be a variety of different classes on offer including pilates, circuits, and poundfit with all donations for these classes going direct to the Breast Centre at Llandough Hospital. For the youngsters attending there will be different arts and crafts available, again with all donations going to the Breast Centre.
A ‘Splash of Pink’ is set to be a fabulous and fun event for all the family, and any support for those joining in with this event would be fabulous!
At a time when patients may be very anxious they tell us it makes a huge difference to them to have a streamlined service at the bespoke Breast Centre with everything under one roof. The Breast Centre Appeal raised the money to build the Centre, which is designed around the needs of patients and 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 at the Centre.
Donations to the Breast Centre Appeal are also used to provide special bras for mastectomy and reconstruction patients and offer complementary therapies, pamper evenings and style and confidence sessions for women having gone through treatment for breast cancer.
Donations have also provided a physiotherapist for one on one sessions as an exercise prescription service, the first of its kind in Wales, a gym for our patients having surgery for breast cancer, along with private swimming and exercise groups at Splash Central for anyone who has had breast cancer surgery. The appeal also provides equipment and IT packages to enable patient contact to continue safely whilst adhering to current social distancing guidelines.
