A WOODLEY breast cancer charity is hosting a concert to mark its sixth anniversary.

Chemogiftbags, founded by Lynne Shipton, distributes gift bags to cancer patients across the Thames Valley.

The bags include toiletries black nail varnish – thought to protect the nail bed during treatment – a pill box, stationery, hats and scarves, fluffy socks, blankets, lip balm, a gentle comb, and a thermometer, among other things.

On Saturday, October 9, New Amen Corner will be performing at The Jazz Café, at Madejski Stadium, to raise money for the charity.

The 60s revivalist band will be on stage from 8pm until 11.30pm.

Tickets cost £15, and will be refunded if there is another Covid-19 lockdown.
