Case Studies
SCS Logistics
The firm is also an advocate of the work we do, spreading the word about our services far and wide with their eye-catching 10 lorry trailers which bear the CancerCare logo.
Owner Sandra Cottam-Shea said that supporting CancerCare is a vital part of their ethos as a business at the heart of their local community.
“We support CancerCare because they address the ripple effect and practicalities of bereavement and cancer which is a disease that has huge psychological implications on the patient and the family. We see CancerCare as an extended family that wrap their arms of support around the whole family and their values are similar to those we also have at our core here at SCS. We are proud to be a corporate partner of such a fantastic charity,” said Sandra.
Morecambe Bay Wills
She said the therapy they received was a huge help to them both: “Jim learned some techniques which really helped him face anxiety about treatment and also took advantage of reflexology which helped some of the side effects he was experiencing. I too accessed therapy which sometimes meant relaxing with a massage, and other times talking about how I was feeling.
Sadly, Nicola lost Jim in 2018 and afterwards, inspired by problems she experienced getting her own financial affairs in order in the months that followed, she set up her own Will-writing business which has since gone from strength-to-strength.
Nicola makes a 5% donation from every invoice raised by the company.
Armstrong Ward
In 2020, owner Jacqueline Ward supported CancerCare in a number of ways after we supported one of her friends who sadly died last year. Jacqueline ran her fist ever marathon raising more than £2,000 in sponsorship. Over the Christmas period in 2021 she also held special Festive Fizz fundraising evenings at which customers were encouraged to make a donation to us and she also stocked our charity book Extra Helpings in the shop.
