Update on Breast Cancer Haven's Big Tea Cosy
Breast Cancer Haven has made the very difficult decision to postpone their Big Tea Cosy
In the interest of reducing risk and keeping everyone safe during the COVID-19 situation, Breast Cancer Haven has made the very difficult decision to postpone their Big Tea Cosy at the centre on 24 March until further notice.
Following the current NHS England advice, your own personal health and safety, and that of our wider community, remains our key priority.
Community Fundraising Officer, Ellie Hughes added, “This turn of events does leave Breast Cancer Haven in a vulnerable position as we are an events-based charity and all our fundraising events are now postponed for many months.
“If you feel you are able to help us during this time, so we don’t have to stop our vital services when people need us the most, I would be most grateful if you would consider donating to our urgent Fundraising Appeal.
“This appeal was launched to coincide with Mother’s Day but now becomes vital for our charity.
“I would like to take this opportunity to offer a heartfelt thank you for your continued support at this difficult time.”

Hundreds of Breast Cancer Haven supporters enjoyed an evening of carols, music and readings from a talented cast of actors and musicians.
St Peter’s Church was the venue for last Monday’s charity concert which began with the traditional carol ‘Once in Royal David’s City’.
Celebrity guests Martin Clunes, Clive Mantle and Tom Goodman- Hill entertained the audience with amusing festive readings.
Between the readings the church rang to the sounds of various groups of talented singers and musicians including, Jamie Crook, Nick Blunn, Sonia Ruth, Hollie Chapman, Catherine Lawlor, West Hill Park Choir and Tre Amici.
The three members of Tre Amici had travelled down from Hull especially for the concert and had a six hour drive home directly after their performance.
A moving, yet humorous, ‘Visitor’s Story’ was given by breast cancer sufferer and ‘Haven’ client Dr Olugbenga Taiwo.
Dr Taiwo who is a senior lecturer at the University of Winchester explained how he became the first male client with breast cancer at the ‘Haven ‘in Titchfield.
