One Stop and Young Lives vs Cancer team up
The symbol group is selling four Care Bear badges for the charity that helps children, young people and their families face cancer.
One Stop is raising money for the charity Young Lives vs Cancer in July by selling a set of four Care Bear badges and donating all proceeds to the charity.
Young Lives vs Cancer helps children and young people and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. The charity’s social workers offer specialist support, its grants help families to navigate the costs of cancer, and its Homes from Home programme offers families a free place to stay, near their child’s hospital.
Julie Millar, Partnership and Philanthropy Manager at Young Lives vs Cancer, said: “Everyday 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news they have cancer and each badge sold is going to help us raise vital funds for children and young people with cancer across the UK.”
Millar added: “We know that children and adults alike love Care Bears and these badges are going to put a smile on everyone’s faces. The theme of Care Bears has so much synergy with us as a charity and truly represents what we do. A huge thank you to everyone at One Stop, it’s been great working together with them on the campaign.”
Earlier this year, One Stop revealed a record year for fundraising, with £902,000 raised in 12 months for many local and national charities and good causes. Between March 2021 and February 2022 One Stop raised £147K for Children in Need – signifying a record year for this charity alone and the most raised by One Stop. In addition, £111K was raised for Alzheimer’s Society and £54,000 for Macmillan.
