Pro bono support
The appeal has been created for CLIC Sargent by marketing/advertising agency Havas at no charge.
Liz North, Director of Communications and Campaigning at CLIC Sargent, said:
“Laughter can be really important in dealing with the challenges that cancer brings, and by donating their jokes, the public will be able to show their support for children and young people with cancer.”
