Wootton-based Brightbulb Design has raised £1,350 for the Caring Cancer Trust as part of their charity of the year scheme.
The money has been raised over the course of a year, through a social media digital raffle as well as approaching Waitrose to be part of their charity scheme.
In addition, a number of fundraising events have taken place across the Island including the Brighstone Christmas Tree Festival, where Brightbulb had a presence and crafted a Christmas tree with handmade baubles from many of the children affected by cancer.
Chris Ody, The charity’s Honorary Chairman comments:
“The money raised will mean we can take 5 more children who are suffering or have suffered from childhood cancer on a healing holiday of adventure to try and re-ignite their passion for life.”
As well as raising the £1,350, Brightbulb has also provided the Caring Cancer Trust with a brand new website and design paraphernalia free of charge, adding much to their overall support for the charity.
Fiona Jeffery, Brightbulb’s head of happiness who drove the charity campaign, adds:
“It’s such a pleasure as an Island business to be able to give back and pull our business connections together so that we can help such a worthy cause. Thanks to all the businesses that donated prizes to the raffle and supported us in raising money for the Caring Cancer Trust.”
