Morrisons colleagues in Lake are raising vital funds for children with cancer to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Staff from Morrisons Lake are holding a gold themed raffle as part of the company-wide gold-themed fundraising drive for CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading charity for young people with cancer.
During September, £1 for 5 chances to win a trolley full of groceries worth over £30 will be taking place and drawn on 30th September. There is also 2nd hand books which can be brought for a donation to Clic Sargent.
This year has been tough for everyone, but especially for young cancer patients and their families. As lockdown restrictions ease and the country settles into a ‘new normal’, young cancer patients and their families are facing new challenges and anxieties. While many people have been seeing friends and family, getting away on a much needed holiday, and getting back into school, young cancer patients are still facing an uncertain future.
CLIC Sargent, with support from Morrisons, has been there throughout the Covid-19 crisis, helping families navigate their way through the unknown. The charity has provided invaluable emotional support, financial advice, and a safe space for the whole family to turn to in unprecedented times. As the situation continues to unfold, their services are needed more than ever before – and so is the public’s support.
Carrie Fineran, Community Champion at Morrisons Lake, said:
We are proud to support CLIC Sargent with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month fundraising. Every pound raised helps CLIC Sargent support families on the Island and around the country at a time when they need our support more than ever.
Holli Kellett, Morrisons Lead at CLIC Sargent, said:
“A huge thank you goes to Morrisons Lake for their fundraising this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Their support will help us being there for every child with cancer that needs us, now and in the future. The way Morrisons have embraced the gold-themed fundraising”
Throughout September, CLIC Sargent is sharing stories of families from across the UK, giving young cancer patients and their families a chance to tell their story. Look out for them on CLIC Sargent’s social media channels during the month.
