On the 14th October all 400 of thebestof franchises have teamed up with Teenage Cancer Trust for Blue Day.

All monies raised on this day will go directly towards building and equipping a new Teenage Cancer Trust unit at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Surrey which is due to open later this year. It will provide a specialist environment where teenagers can get on with being teenagers in an place more suited to their age.

Absolutely anyone can get involved, so gather together your friends, family or colleagues and start thinking of some fundraising ideas! Get in the blue spirit by baking blueberry muffins, searching through your wardrobe and wearing an all blue outfit for the day or even by purchasing a special Blue Day cupcake from the Indulgence Cupcake Company which you can get by clicking here.

If you are stuck for ideas please get in contact with the Teenage Cancer Trust by emailing blueday@teenagecancertrust.org and they will send you a FREE fundraising pack jam packed with fantastic tips and some free promotional goodies.

But don’t worry, if you don’t fancy running your own fundraising day, thebestofworthing will be around and about town with some of our special Blue Day cupcakes very kindly baked by Councillor Noel Atkins' daughter.

MK Windows, Affordable Security and Darren Crabb will also be cycling the South Downs Cycle Ride for Teenage Cancer Trust which will take place on the 12th and 13th November. If you would like to find out more or even sponsor them on their trek click here. Don’t forget for every pound raised St James Place have kindly offered to match it and donate the money to one of their chosen charities.

We would love to find out anything you may be doing across town to help support this fantastic cause. So if you have decided to run your own fundraising schemes, whether you are holding a bake sale or doing a sponsored swim, make sure you let us know! We would also love any support possible on our Blue Open Day so if you would like to donate wine, soft drinks or even some free goodies please contact us on 01903 890226 or worthing@thebestof.co.uk.
