The Cancer Research Wales charity shop at the Menai Centre in Bangor is celebrating the organisation's 60th anniversary with a month-long programme of special offers, raffles, and prizes throughout July.
60 Years of Life-Saving Research
Founded in 1966, Cancer Research Wales has spent six decades funding pioneering projects that have invested more than £41 million in research to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer across the country. To mark this milestone, the Bangor store will feature a colourful 1960s-themed window display for the entire month.
Special Offers and Raffle
Customers can enjoy a 20% discount on all full-price items throughout July. Anyone spending £10 or more in the shop will be automatically entered into a free prize raffle. The Bangor team is now appealing to local businesses and supporters to donate prizes for the raffle or organise fundraising activities.
Store Manager's Enthusiasm
Tracey Roberts, who runs the Bangor shop, said: "I have been at the Bangor shop for just under 12 months, and I absolutely love it. Our team, volunteers and customers are all brilliant and have been incredibly supportive. July marks the 60th anniversary of Cancer Research Wales, and we have lots planned, including our 1960s-themed window display, 20% off full-price items, prizes and raffles throughout the month. We're also asking local businesses and supporters to help by donating raffle prizes or organising fundraising activities. Every donation, purchase and fundraising effort helps support vital cancer research here in Wales. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us."

I would encourage the local community to get involved throughout July, whether by shopping in store, donating raffle prizes, supporting fundraising activities or simply helping spread the word. Every contribution helps support vital cancer research here in Wales."
