Dobbies Garden Centre is hosting Christmas fundraising collections to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust. The Teenage Cancer Trust fund specialised nurses, youth workers and hospital units in the NHS to help young people with cancer diagnoses through every step of their treatment - and up to 2 years afterwards - so that they can recover and live life to the full. They also provide events for young people to help them regain their independence, as well as provide easy-to-access information about every aspect of living with cancer as a young person.
