Gala evening with power and hope for everyone affected by cancer.

It was the Church of Sweden in Brunflo that contacted the non-profit association Kraftens Hus and suggested that they together arrange a support gala.

- They said that we are responsible for the venue, we arrange musicians, we arrange choir and soloists. We take the entire cost and then we collect money for your business. Do you want to join?

This is what the operational manager of Kraftens Hus, Susanne Persson, says with a big smile.

Create meeting places

The initiative from the church has led to the gala being held in Brunflo church on Saturday evening, November 14.

- It's about creating meeting places where people can share experiences. Not to be alone when life gets tough. We work with that and Kraftens Hus works with that in the same way, says deacon Christina Stjernberg.

Own experiences

The gala evening is largely based on people's own experiences as affected by cancer, whether it concerns someone who has been affected by the disease, is a close relative or a colleague. The choir "Song for life" has also been put together just for this occasion.
