Popular tombola stall raises funds for breast care centre

Diane Cubitt and Val Whitehead, members of the Burgess Hill District Lions offer the stall on a regular basis.

After Christmas, the pair requested if they could make the kind donation to the breast care centre in Preston Road from the money raised over the festive period.

The pair are pictured presenting the cheque with consultant Charles Zammit who said he ‘loves’ having dinner with the lions club.
