During the year here at Insurancewith we continually fundraise for a selection of charities. £1 of every policy is donated to one of our charities. Last month, we were thrilled to hear from FACT. We have raised £1,301.28 for them over the past couple of months.
FACT stands for Fighting All Cancers Together. It is a charity offering support to those affected by cancer diagnoses in the UK. This includes the person themselves, family or close friends. Their purpose is to ‘source, promote and form relationships between the support services, groups, organisations and charities that are available to cancer patients’.
The team at FACT provide a range of free resources for those affected. These range from simple comforts, such as a cup of tea, to clinical counselling. This support is available for those struggling with a cancer diagnosis or who have been bereaved.
They’ve just hosted the Carer Awards. It was a night to recognise the stellar efforts of carers across the North East of England. The winners and nominees are all people who do an amazing job of supporting others suffering from cancer. Whether young or adult, FACT look to recognise these people. This is for their outstanding commitment and selfless attitude to those they care for.
With Insurancewith’s donation (all thanks to our brilliant customers!), FACT have been able to fund 26 blocks of clinical counselling for families in the North East of England. This can play a huge part in managing and coping with a cancer diagnosis for some people. This amount also could pay for over 11,000 cups of tea!
FACT is always fundraising and looking for people to donate, whether that be giving their money or giving their time. If you are interested in their work and want to know more, want to make a charitable donation, or to volunteer to donate your time, visit https://www.fact-cancersupport.co.uk/.
