Colleagues from Aster Housing group have been active in raising money for Cancer Research UK.
Just over a year ago Aster Group announced it would be supporting Cancer Research UK (CRUK) as its Charity of the Year. Since then, and through initiatives like London’s Shine Night Walk, Woof Walkies and Walk All Over Cancer, its staff have raised a total of £20,060 for the charity.
Nick Johnson, Cancer Research UK’s local fundraising manager for the south, said: “Cancer survival has doubled since the 1970’s and Cancer Research UK’s work has been at the heart of this. We have only been able to achieve this thanks to the dedication and generosity of employees and organisations like Aster Group without whom we would not be able to fund the work and commitment of outstanding scientists, doctors and nurses.”
