Brand Recruitment donate to Cambridge based cancer charity

Brand Recruitment has recently donated £250 on behalf of their ‘Team Player of the Month’ to the Maggie's Wallace charity (formally known as Wallace Cancer Care). This charity is based on-site at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge and ‘offers emotional, practical and social support to people with cancer and their families and friends.’

Victoria Kelly, who was voted the Team Player of the Month for being a good team leader, supporting the team with her hot drink making and baking, chose this charity after her mum used their support following two bone marrow transplants at Addenbrooke’s.

"Mum loved having the ‘reiki lady’ visit her once a week. It was a relaxing break from treatment and a different face to see."

The centre offers six complementary therapies which include aromatherapy and reflexology, and patients are offered six free counselling sessions. Other support includes lifestyle and health strategies, support groups and a drop-in centre where patients and their families are welcomed with coffee, tea and friendly staff. The centre does not receive any funds from the NHS so Victoria felt that this was a worthy cause.

This is the second Team Player donation Brand Recruitment has made. Steve Mann, Managing Director at Brand commented that ‘we are proud of our team and their hard work and donating to worthwhile charities seems a fitting reward. We hope that the Maggie’s Wallace charity benefits from our donation.’
