LEWIS-Manning Hospice is inviting women to come and join its second Ladies Luncheon – back after the success of last year’s inaugural event.

Taking place during Breast Cancer Awareness month on Friday, October 10, it will be hosted by actress and hospice patron Debra Stephenson.

She said last year’s had been an “unforgettable occasion”, adding: “It’s a very special occasion for the diary.”

The fundraising lunch will take place at Les Bouviers in Wimborne, set in five and a half acres of landscaped gardens, and feature Krishan Ramyead, doctor of Chiropractic and founder of Thrive Bournemouth, as Guest Speaker.

Krishan, an expert on the effects of stress on health and wellness, said: “The women in our society do so much for so many and in some cases for so long; it is a privilege to be able to give back to them.”

Tickets for the lunch are £55 per person, or £500 for a table of ten, which includes arrival drinks and a four course lunch with a half bottle of wine per person. There will also be a raffle, auction and balloon pop. For more details contact Sally Goodenough on 01202 708470 or via sally@lewis-manning.co.uk.
