Breast Cancer Awareness

Thank you to all our guests who booked a cottage during the month of October, Breast Cancer Awareness month. For every booking taken during the month of October Farringford pledged to donate £10.00 to The Haven in Wessex Appeal In total we raised £170, which will go towards establishing a much needed new Haven in the Wessex region. The Havens already established in London, Hereford and Leeds offer a program of care free of charge, providing much needed support, information and complementary therapies to anyone affected by breast cancer.
