On World Cancer Day, BMW Group UK is proud to announce a new
three-year charity partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust, the only UK
charity dedicated to providing the unique care and support required by
young people with cancer.
Teenage Cancer Trust was chosen by the BMW Group’s 8,000
associates in the UK as part of the company’s charity selection
process where votes are cast across its UK sites – including the
National Sales Company and BMW Financial Services in Farnborough,
production plants in Oxford, Swindon and Hams Hall near Birmingham.
BMW Group is committing to raise at least £250,000 over the
course of the partnership to help fund Teenage Cancer Trust’s
specially trained nurses and youth workers, who work tirelessly to
support young people with cancer every step of the way. This target
will be achieved through a combination of company donations and a
variety of employee-led fundraising initiatives – such as bake sales,
charity walks and quiz nights.
David George, Chief Executive Officer at BMW Group UK said, “The
life-saving work carried out by Teenage Cancer Trust is simply
remarkable, therefore it fills me with great pride to launch this new
charity partnership. As a cause close to the hearts of many across our
businesses, our teams are looking forward to raising vital funds
through creative and engaging fundraising initiatives.”
Kate Collins, Chief Executive Officer at Teenage Cancer Trust
said, “Teenage Cancer Trust is thrilled to become BMW Group UK’s
charity partner.
“Today, and every day, seven young people in the UK aged 13-24
will hear the words “you have cancer”. What happens next can affect
them for the rest of their lives. You only get one chance at being
young, and those years will shape the person you become – your
relationships and career, your confidence and wellbeing, and your
ability to pursue your dreams.
“Everything we do is funded by donations and young people have
never needed our support more which is why we are grateful that BMW
Group UK has chosen to support Teenage Cancer Trust. We cannot wait to
see what this partnership makes possible for young people with cancer
across the UK.”
Teenage Cancer Trust will remain as BMW Group in UK’s charity
partner until 2028. Visit www.teenagecancertrust.org
