Foreign Sisters UK
Royal Opera House - Foreign Sisters Lunch 2019
Note from Foreign Sisters
Dear Foreign Sisters,
First and foremost, we hope you and your loved ones are healthy and safe at this difficult time. We are thinking of you!
Second, it is with great sadness that we write to inform you that we have taken the difficult decision to postpone our Foreign Sisters Annual Lunch from May 2020 until May 2021. We very much want to keep our Foreign Sisters, all of you, safe and to host a lovely gathering when the world has recovered from COVID-19. We are so grateful to our sponsor Pomellato for their continued support during this time, and our thoughts are with them in Italy.
We very much look to set a new date as soon as possible and will be sure to be in touch again when it is confirmed. Please note the event will still be at the Royal Opera House and we very much hope you will be able to join us again.
If you would still like to support Foreign Sisters, we also welcome any generous donations to CRUK's lifesaving cancer research work at this time here.
Thank you again for your continued support for Foreign Sisters and Cancer Research UK. We look forward to hearing from you and to coming together in 2021.
Best wishes and stay safe,
Lauren

The Lily of the Valley
The Lily of the Valley is the emblem of the Foreign Sisters. This May flower represents the renewed hope that Cancer Research UK offers each time a breakthrough is achieved, and symbolises the friendship and community of Foreign Sisters.
