Avanta Serviced Office Group, the leading workspace provider for SMEs and growing businesses, has announced the appointment of a new charity partner, Cancer Research UK. The workspace provider aims to raise in excess of £20,000 for the charity through a variety of fundraising activities.
Cancer Research UK, which is the world’s largest independent cancer research charity, was the overriding favourite following a vote among the company’s 250 staff. In recent years, Avanta, through its staff and clients has raised over £110,000 for charities.
Commenting on the announcement, Alan Pepper, Chief Executive of Avanta Serviced Office Group, said: “Raising money for great causes is an important responsibility for any business, and we are proud to announce this partnership with Cancer Research UK. Having sought the views of staff and selecting the most popular choice, I am sure this is a cause the whole company will be able to get behind.”
Cancer Research UK’s world-class doctors and scientists are at the forefront of finding new and effective treatments for cancer quicker than ever before. Their groundbreaking work, funded overwhelmingly by donations from the general public and supporting organisations, delivers medical advances that save thousands of lives each year.
Giorgia Molinari, Cancer Research UK, added: “We are delighted to have the much-valued support of Avanta Serviced Office Group, and look forward to working with them on a programme of events for 2014 and 2015 – from staff bingo nights to cycling challenges and speaker evenings.”
