A charity role for MP
HAZEL Grove MP William Wragg has become a parliamentary ambassador for the charity Breast Cancer Now.
The newly-elected Conservative MP joins 169 others from across the country who have pledged their support to the charity, which will help them to take action against breast cancer in their constituencies and in parliament.
Nearly 12,000 women are still dying from breast cancer each year in the UK – an average of 18 women in each constituency.
Mr Wragg said: “Too many women are still dying from breast cancer in the UK.
“We must act now if we are to finally put an end to deaths from the disease and I am therefore very proud to support Breast Cancer Now.
“Together we urgently need to put the spotlight back on this dreadful disease locally and nationally.
“By becoming a breast cancer ambassador I will ensure that action is taken on behalf of women and families affected by breast cancer within the local community of Hazel Grove.”
