Supporting charities and giving something back to our communities is something we are proud of. That is why each year, we have chosen to commit to a nominated charity by taking part in various fundraising initiatives.
Once again, our Charity of the Year has been nominated by our staff, giving them an opportunity to select a cause which means something to them.
This year, we are thrilled to announce that we will be supporting Pancreatic Cancer UK. This fantastic charity helps anyone affected by pancreatic cancer, from patients to their loved ones across the UK. They do this through research breakthroughs, campaigning and expert support. Because people with pancreatic cancer need more than hope. Their vision is that everyone with pancreatic cancer survives to live long and well.
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer with more than half of people diagnosed dying within three months. Around 10,500 people a year are diagnosed with the disease in the UK, but it has the lowest cancer survival rate with around 9,000 dying every year.
Throughout the year, our staff will be joining in with a variety of activities to help raise vital funds for the charity. From bake-offs to photography competitions, “wear a hat day” to a pizza lunch, we have lots planned. We also are in the early stages of planning our big charity fundraiser for the year, and we will share more soon.
We are looking forward to working with Pancreatic Cancer UK and their aim to make a difference in the fight against this devastating disease.
