A FESTIVE event has been organised to boost a Kidderminster charity that cares for people with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

Friends of Kemp Hospice have organised a ploughman's and punch Christmas bazaar at St Mary's Church chantry in Kidderminster on Wednesday from noon until 2pm.

Kemp also provides practical and emotional support to patients' families and carers and pays the salaries of the Macmillan Nurse Community Care team.
