Going for Bust has generously donated £7,500 to fund Complementary Therapies for Breast Cancer patients at Forest Holme Hospice. 

The donation from the Wimborne-based charity will fund a full range of therapies including Aromatherapy, Reflexology Reiki and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to help patients across Poole, Wimborne and Isle of Purbeck who use the services at the Poole-based hospice. 

Hannah O’ Hare, Interim CEO at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “We are absolutely delighted to have received this generous donation, which will be hugely appreciated by our Breast Cancer patients. 

We have found that patients with this cancer suffer a lot with their hormones due to being put into menopause with drugs, so we help by giving cooling sprays, inhalers and helping with the stress and anxiety this causes. We also find these patients have trouble coming to terms with hair loss, so we offer EFT which helps with acceptance of what is happening.”

Going for Bust is a Breast Cancer Charity, with shops across Dorset and Hampshire dedicated to raising funds for local hospitals, hospices and support groups. Michelle Ormston, Charity Support Co-ordinator, said, “We are delighted to be able to help fund these very much needed therapies for Breast Cancer Patients.”

Forest Holme Hospice provides palliative and end-of life-care and support to people and their families with advanced cancer and other life-limiting illnesses such as Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s, heart disease and respiratory illness.
