Cherie Booth QC joins leading women in the north-west for breakfast at the Foundation

Cherie Booth QC visited Liverpool on Thursday 27 th July to meet with local business women to help raise the profile of lung cancer.

Ms Booth, who is originally from Crosby, was the guest of honour at a special business breakfast meeting held by The Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation at the charity’s Liverpool HQ.

During the meeting Ms Booth met and spoke with many of the region’s most influential women. The highlight of the morning was a presentation from members of the foundation’s new Anti Tobacco Youth Campaign, emphasizing the important work the group has been involved with to reduce smoking amongst young people.

The charity’s Anti Tobacco Youth Campaign was launched earlier this year to give young people in Liverpool a voice in the smoking debate, and to arm them with the knowledge and skills to tackle issues around smoking and the tobacco industry.

The event was sponsored by the Liverpool law firm, Harkin Lloyd Solicitors and was attended by their founders Jean Harkin and Rachel Lloyd.
