Primary Care Senior Social Work Practitioner, Niall Rotherham, who facilitates the group as part of the multi-disciplinary team social work service, said the Streamers are “delighted” to have raised such a fantastic amount for the cancer charity.

Niall added: “The group fundraise annually to give back to their local community. The Streamers decided to fundraise for Marie Curie because of their personal experience with cancer, research work into the disease and the support offered to those living with cancer and their families through the charity.”
