#### Leaders & Teenage Cancer Trust

 

[Leaders](https://www.leaders.co.uk/) has chosen [Teenage Cancer Trust](https://www.teenagecancertrust.org/)
as its new charity partner for 2018 and announced plans to raise £50,000 for it.
The property firm will work with Teenage Cancer Trust over the next 12 months to
fundraise and raise awareness of its work. The new partnership marks the end of 
the company’s previous partnership with Together for Short Lives that saw it raise
approximately £150,000 for the children’s hospice charity over the last three years.

#### United Utilities & Macmillan Cancer Support

 

[United Utilities](https://www.unitedutilities.com/) employees have chosen [Macmillan Cancer Support](https://www.macmillan.org.uk/)
to be the company’s official charity. The water company has now entered into a three-
year partnership with Macmillan, aimed at raising £250,000 as well as helping provide
better services for customers. All funds raised from the charity partnership will
be restricted to the North West, which means United Utilities will help support 
people living with cancer across the region it operates in.
