International financial services organisation Foresters have helped raise nearly
£250,000 last year for children’s cancer charity, CLIC Sargent, through a community
events programme sponsored by Foresters. This is the highest amount raised since
the two organisations started to work together over three years ago.

Membership Director, Steve Dilworth, confirmed Foresters will sponsor at least ten
of CLIC Sargent’s Community Fundraising Events in the coming year.

He explained why sponsoring events at a local rather than a national level works
so well for both organisations. “Foresters don’t have shareholders so we can focus
more on our members,” he said, “helping them to make a real difference in their 
communities.

“CLIC Sargent has a very strong Community Fundraising team whose innovative events
are not only great sponsorship vehicles but allow our members right across the UK
to get involved hands on.

“What’s more CLIC Sargent’s focus on providing services in the communities where
the children and families they help live means that our members can see that the
funds they’ve helped to raise make a real and tangible difference.”
