A Public Service student will be hosting a Family Fun Day in Darlaston on Sunday 4th November from 2pm – 6pm to raise money for Molly’s Fund and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Georgia Hardingham organised the free event with her mother, and will take place at the Five Star Community Centre in Darlaston.

Visitors will be able to take part in a wide range of fun activities, including a raffle, face painting, tombola, an auction and karaoke.

There will also be a bouncing castle for children, as well as cake and craft stalls for families who have a sweet tooth or who want to try their hands at something creative.

A café and licensed bar will be available, and male volunteers will be having their legs waxed by participants willing to donate £1 for a wax strip.

Georgia, who is studying a Level 1 BTEC Diploma in Public Services, said: “Molly’s Fund and Macmillan Cancer Trust are charities that mean a lot to my mum and me, as there are so many people affected by the illness. We organised the Fun Day so families can help us raise funds whilst having fun.”

Established by National Hospital Development Foundation, Molly’s Fund has been set up in memory of five-year-old Molly Lane Fox, who tragically died following a seven-month battle with a brain tumour.

Money raised through the charity goes towards the Brain Tumour Unit at the hospital, as well as developing treatment for brain cancer.

Similarly, Macmillan encourages members of the public to raise funds to help those affected by cancer. The charity aims to reach every single person who is diagnosed with the disease and to be there for them at every stage of their cancer journey, no matter who they are, what part of the country they live in, or what type of cancer they have.

Jo Hughes, lecturer for Public Services at Walsall College, said: “Cancer is a devastating illness that affects millions of people in the UK alone.

So we are proud of Georgia for organising this event with her mother to ensure that funds are raised for two worthy causes that provide support with those living with the condition.

At Walsall College, our students are always eager to support charity events and raise much needed funds, which is a strong part of our values in fostering good will and a positive community.”
