A CANCER support charity is several thousand pounds better off this Christmas thanks to the generosity of Austins.

Two events, the Summer Solstice and Glamorous Circus beauty evenings, were hosted by the cosmetics and beauty department at the Newton Abbot department store and raised a grand total of £2000 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

‘Both were a great success,’ said Sharon Lobley from Austins. ‘With over 500 customers attending the Glamorous Circus event, it was the most successful to date.’

‘We have to thanks the generosity of everyone involved and through ticket sales and raffles we were able to raise this amazing amount.'

The cheque was presented to Macmillan representatives last week, and the store is already planning more fantastic Beauty Evenings for 2025.
