“We are hopeful of raising between £4,000 and £5,000 over the coming year. To help us get started, we would like as many teams as possible to enter our upcoming spring quiz and have some great prizes to be won.”

Cathy Skidmore, Rosemere Cancer Foundation’s trust and corporate fund-raising manager, said: “It’s fantastic to welcome the RBS Fishergate team, helped by their Kirkham colleagues, to our band of corporate supporters. They have put together a great calendar of events, which I hope will not only prove successful but also, be a lot of fun for everyone involved.”
