Rachel Hailey, Corporate Fundraiser for Compton Care, said: “This event is a fantastic opportunity to hear from the amazing Melissa Forde and to connect, network and celebrate women in our community – all while supporting local people living with life limiting conditions. The evening includes a delicious finger buffet for you to enjoy as you relax, catch up, and make meaningful connections.”
