AWARENESS – RESEARCH – SUPPORT – EDUCATION

The business benefit of tackling bowel cancer

Partnering with a local charity can bring many benefits to a business. We know that our creative and bespoke approach to charitable activities can reap great rewards for both sides.

Bowel Cancer West welcomes local, regional and national businesses to consider the opportunity of working with us – we offer a flexible and supportive approach and there are several great reasons to consider a partnership.

The benefits

Positive Sales Promotion

Association with Bowel Cancer West can influence public purchasing decisions. e.g. “£5 from every bicycle sold goes towards lifesaving research.”

Regional Association and Pride

We are a local charity with a strong community following. Like our supporters, we have a proud affiliation to the West Country and believe in making a real difference to the lives of local people.

Positive PR

Through our PR reach across the region, we can help generate good-news stories through association with Bowel Cancer West.

Brand Promotion

We resonate with the public – everyone is touched by the devastation cancer can bring to families and knowing that a business is committed to joining our fight sends a positive message.

A Future Headliner

Awareness of bowel cancer doesn’t yet have the full public recognition it needs. Awareness campaigns for other cancers (such as breast cancer) have been hugely successful over the past few years and the profile of bowel cancer will be next.

Networking Opportunities

Our board of Trustees is comprised of leading West Country professionals, well-connected within the commercial, medical and media sectors and we run regular networking events.

Engage Your Staff

Association with a charity that battles a disease that many have a connection to sends a positive message. Offering the opportunity to fundraise or volunteer for us can be very motivating. Getting our awareness message out to them is also crucial.

Help us save lives!
