National Ventilation, a leading UK-based ventilation manufacturer and supplier, held a bake sale in their office to raise money for Young Lives vs Cancer. The ventilation company raised a total of \u00a3120. The bake sale marks one of a number of fundraising events that are being held by National Ventilation this year to support this organisation. Young Lives vs Cancer is the company\u2019s charity of the year for 2022 as part of a group-wide initiative which has raised \u00a32156 so far. The bake sale proved popular with many staff taking up the baking challenge and enjoying a range of freshly baked cakes, donating to a worthy cause. Matt Dyer from National Ventilation organised the event and also baked a delicious Victoria Sandwich Cake.<\/p>\n
Young Lives vs Cancer (formerly CLIC Sargent) is a cancer charity for children and young people that is solely funded by donations. The charity helps families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Every day, 12 more children and young people hear the devastating news that they have cancer. The \u00a3120 raised will help towards the charity continuing to fight for children and young people with cancer.<\/p>\n
For example, \u00a315 could pay towards a social worker to support a recently diagnosed young person; \u00a338 could pay for a family to stay in one of the charity\u2019s Homes from Home near the hospital and \u00a3100 could pay towards a financial grant to ensure families facing money worries can pay for basics like food.<\/p>\n
Speaking on behalf of Young Lives vs Cancer, Rose Bailey, Fundraising Engagement Manager, said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted that National Ventilation has chosen to support Young Lives vs Cancer this year and we\u2019re so grateful to its staff for their excellent fundraising. Thanks to National Ventilation, young people facing cancer, and their families, won\u2019t have to face cancer alone. Thank you so much to everyone at National Ventilation for your amazing support!\u201d<\/p>\n
“We are delighted to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer to help support this amazing charity in the vital work they do to support children and young people and their families in their fight against cancer\u201d, said National Ventilation\u2019s Matt Dyer. \u201cAt National Ventilation we have seen first-hand how Young Lives vs Cancer helps young people and their families. The charity has supported Alfie, the son of our sales manager Andy Bills, and it also provided help to myself and my family when I battled cancer as a young person, so we know just how important the work of this charity is. We\u2019re delighted to be able to help them continue supporting families going through these tough times.\u201d<\/p>\n
Young Lives vs Cancer gave Matt Dyer and his family significant support when he was diagnosed with a grade three brain tumour in 2012, which reoccurred again in 2014. As well as arranging the cake sale Matt has supported Young Lives vs Cancer with his own fundraising including running a half-marathon for the charity a year after his treatment where he raised over \u00a33,000.

Meanwhile, Andy Bills\u2019 son Alfie was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia at just 3 years of age. Alfie has undergone a very intense, relentless regime of Chemotherapy and the charity has supported the family both emotionally and financially during this very tough time. Andy formed \u2018Alfie\u2019s Army\u2019 to raise funds for Young Lives vs Cancer to give something back to the charity that has been supporting his son. As part of their fundraising efforts, Alfie\u2019s Army successfully completed a half-ultra challenge, hiking 53km through the Peak District in 2021 and have raised over \u00a311,000 for the charity.

Young Lives vs Cancer helps families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Powered by the kindness of their supporters, they face it all together.
