The Bonita Trust Donates GBP70,000 to Fund and Develop Key CLIC Sargent Services
LONDON, January 25, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
CLIC Sargent is celebrating its new partnership with The Bonita Trust
[http://www.bonitatrust.org/bonita-trust-donates-to-clic-sargent.html ], a philanthropic
trust that has donated GBP70,000 to help boost three of the charity's services for
families affected by childhood cancer.
The organisation has pledged to support CLIC Sargent care professionals by funding an
upgrade of their IT systems, the money donated will provide financial assistance for
families who travel abroad for proton therapy treatment, and will also support the
charity's Northern Ireland Home from Home project. The Bonita Trust is committed to
addressing worldwide health issues including childhood cancer and will be in partnership
with CLIC Sargent until May 2012.
Lucy Caldicott, Director of Fundraising at CLIC Sargent said: "We are absolutely
delighted to have partnered with The Bonita Trust. This generous donation will make a huge
difference to children and young people with cancer and their families and our funded care
professionals, who provide them with emotional and practical support from point of
diagnosis.
"CLIC Sargent wants to say a big thank you. We're so proud to have support from such
an inspirational organisation."
The Bonita Trust provides community grants to charities across the world and has
donated over GBP9 million to date in the areas of education, health and entrepreneurship.
Ruth Parasol [http://www.bonitatrust.org/ruth_parasol.html ], the principal benefactor
and founding member of Bonita Trust's International Advisory Board commented: "I admire
and support the work of Clic Sargent and I am happy that Bonita is able to assist in
improving the quality of life for children with cancer and their families. I imagine that
the emotional struggles of the families who have children with cancer are only amplified
by the financial burden of this devastating illness. Therefore, I believe that it is
essential to ensure that children and their families walking this distressing journey do
not feel alone. I wish Clic Sargent all the best in this very worthwhile endeavour."
