We’re a team of avid bakers here at Baltimore Consulting HQ in Bristol, and on World Cancer Day we held another one of our legendary bake sales to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Cancer survival rates have more than doubled over the past 40 years. Consistent progress is being made, but improvements to technologies and groundbreaking work offer new opportunities for the charity to find ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer, and improve survival rates even further.
Our World Cancer Day efforts this year raised enough to fund a research nurse for one day to raise awareness of their trials and support and monitor patients during their treatment.
Every one of us will, at some point, be affected by cancer in some way, so it’s so important for us to help make a difference on World Cancer Day and beyond.
Since joining forces with Cancer Research UK and kicking off our World Cancer Day celebrations back in 2020, the team here at Baltimore Consulting have fundraised more than £40,000 for the charity, helping to subsidise the annual salary of a specialist cancer nurse.
Charity contribution is an integral aspect of Baltimore Consulting’s business model and CRUK’s work is not only a cause that is extremely close to CEO, Charmaine Vincent’s heart, but the wider business as well.
As a business, we have seen the effects of cancer first-hand. We’ve felt the impact, and experienced the heartache caused from losing someone you love to cancer. This is what keeps us all motivated and encourages us to continually push the boundaries when it comes to fundraising.
In 2021, we were awarded Corporate Fundraising Team of the Year at CRUK’s Flame of Home Awards, having been nominated by the charity themselves in recognition of our efforts.
Our caring ethos runs through our DNA and we’re proud to be different.
