LTC are proud to support
BUST – Lady McAdden Breast Screen Unit at Southend Hospital

The link to the LTC...

Lady Dorothy McAdden, who gives her name to the BUST unit, is the President of the Little Theatre Company. Dot, as she has always been affectionately known to us in LTC, was a member of the Company when the first production was staged back in 1949.  Her husband was the LTC’s first President for many years and when he died Dot took on the role.

Over the last few shows we have tried to demonstrate our support to the BUST unit in a practical way by making a donation from the opening nights’ ticket sales: this has amounted to a total of over £3,500. As well as this, we have taken a collection as our audiences have left the theatre on these opening nights and we know that these have amounted to a generous sum.

Where it all started...

The Lady McAdden Unit, affectionately known as BUST, has provided a major health function for women since the unit opened in 1976. The official opening followed a massive fund raising campaign which was spearheaded by the South East Essex ‘Federation of Townswomen’s Guilds’ to whom the charity remains affiliated, and supported by Lady Dorothy McAdden, wife of the late Sir Stephen McAdden, then MP for Southend East.

Why breast cancer screening is important...

Screening aims to detect cancer in its infancy. Early detection of breast abnormalities could have a significant effect on treatment and beating the disease. In addition countless women have their fears allayed.
