We are incredibly grateful to the businesses that choose to stand alongside families affected by brain tumours. This week, we’re shining a spotlight on Cardiff-based Leka Systems and the difference its generous support will make in Wales.
Leka Systems is a leading systems company providing home-improvement solutions, including conservatory warm roofs, orangery flat roofs, modular home extensions and carports.
The company’s £1,000 donation will help Brain Tumour Support provide specialist support to individuals and families facing the impact of a brain tumour diagnosis.
£1,000 could fund the equivalent of one face-to-face support group at Velindre Hospital in Cardiff.
Gavin Davies, Support Team Leader and Support Professional Cymru, explains why corporate and community support is so important:
“Every day in the UK, 45 people are told they have a brain tumour. This shock diagnosis can lead to uncertainty, isolation, loss of earnings and loss of independence. At Brain Tumour Support, it is our vision that no one faces a brain tumour diagnosis alone.
“Leka Systems’ generous donation will make a big difference to our community, funding the equivalent of one face-to-face support group at Velindre Hospital in Cardiff. Patients tell us it’s a lifeline, and we’re so grateful for the support of corporate and community partners that helps fund this service.”
From team fundraising and payroll giving to sponsorship and Charity of the Year partnerships, there are many ways your organisation can help keep specialist support free for families affected by brain tumours.
Our Fundraising Team can help you find an approach that works for your people, your organisation and the causes that matter to you.
