Community news: Bates Farm hands £10,000 to Cancer Research UK

Following the loss of their father, Fiona and Alison Wilshaw have raised £10,644.29 for Cancer Research through their on-farm pumpkin patch.   

Last October, the sisters lost their father, Michael Wilshaw, after a 12-year battle with cancer. This led the farm - based in Risley, Cheshire - to sell pink pumpkins and provide face painting as part of their pumpkin patch experience, all in aid of charity. During their seasonal events, they continue to raise funds to support ongoing scientific research.
