A baby shop in Bolton is hosting a fundraising event tomorrow for an important cause.

Mums Mate in Bolton is raising funds for Breast Cancer Now after the store's owner had breast cancer two years ago.

Shop owner Farida Patel wanted to give back following the fantastic treatment she received for breast cancer in 2019.

Farida's daughter and volunteer shop assistant, Naz Vander, has helped her mum organise the charity event.

Naz said: "I was with my mum for all of her treatment after she got diagnosed in September 2019."

"She is our main inspiration and motivation behind this fundraising event.

"We have set up a JustGiving page and have already exceeded our £500 target which is fantastic."

"I want to urge everyone to attend their routine check-ups when offered them."

"If Farida hadn't have attended her appointment, they wouldn't have found the cancer."

"I've taken it upon myself to get in contact with local businesses and so many are able to help out."

There will be several cakes for attendees to enjoy, provided by local bakers, including Bake it Like Bentham, Crown Cakes, Cakes By Farhana and Cakes By Jakera.

Food and beverage stalls will also be located outside the front of Mums Mate.

People will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle and take part in fun games, including name the bear and guess the number of sweets in the jar.

Organisers of the charity event said the family-friendly fundraiser has "something available for all ages."

Raffle prizes have been donated by local businesses, including Carrs Pasties, Salon Perfection and Petite Patisseries.

Naz added: "I want to thank family, friends, suppliers and customers who have donated other prizes and baked goods.

Farida will be joined by Manager Mez Patel, Assistant Manager Debra Jones and daughter, Naz.

Several volunteers will also be there to help out, including Leanne, Kerry, Joy, Faiza, Raihaan, Samia and Jean.

The fundraising event will take place tomorrow from 11am until 4pm at Mums Mate on Halliwell Road in Bolton.
