THE Imperial Cancer Research Fund is asking the public to help its fight against the disease by having a smashing time at a Greek evening.

The charity is holding an event at Simply Greek, in the Bigg Market, Newcastle, on July 25. The evening will include a meze meal, dancing and plate-smashing.

Fundraising manager Lindsay Kay said: "Together we can all help to make a tremendous difference, so come and join us and have a great night out and help smash cancer at the same time."

Tickets for the Greek event are available from Simply Greek, or the Imperial Cancer shops at 61 Grainger Street, Newcastle, or in Gosforth Shopping Centre.
