A DARWEN business has announced a new charity as its official partner for this year.
Crown Paints will support Children with Cancer UK.
The cause dedicates itself to research into finding cures for childhood cancers as well as providing support and care for poorly children.
A range of fundraising events including a golf tournament and a summer fun day for employees will be organised.
Francesca Borrelli, corporate account manager at Children with Cancer, said: “We are extremely excited to be working together and look forward to the year ahead.
“Sadly, cancer affects 4,000 children and young people a year – that’s over 70 children diagnosed every week.
“Research, improved treatments and support for children with cancer and their families are still much-needed and thanks to companies like Crown Paints we can continue with our work.”
The cause was chosen after Crown Paints’ charity committee, which was set up in 2010, organised a staff vote to choose a partner to support for 2017.
