Charity Fundraising: Help Us To Make A Difference
As part of our 45th birthday celebrations, we’re not only looking back at our story but looking at how we can give back to the local community that has served us well for over 45 years. That’s why we’ve committed to raising money for a very worthy cause.
For 2024, our charity of the year is – NNS: Fighting Childhood Cancer.
This is an exceptional local charity based in Wellingborough, working hard to raise awareness for children with neuroblastoma. Together, we’ll fight back against children’s cancer and make a real difference to the lives of young people and everyone affected by this.
NNS' Story
If you aren’t aware of what neuroblastoma is and how it affects children, then you’re not alone. One part of what the NNS sets out to do is to educate people. Neuroblastoma is a rare childhood cancer that affects around 100 children in the UK each year, most often those under the age of five and can even affect babies before birth.
The NNS is fighting this disease in several key ways:
• raising awareness
• helping families affected
• funding research
The story started with Niamh, who tragically lost her battle with neuroblastoma in 2012 at the age of five. Niamh’s story has inspired the NNS (it stands for Niamh’s Next Step) and touched the hearts of many – her legacy, as well as the NNS’s, is to change and save lives.
What We're Doing
We’ve been inspired by Niamh’s story, like so many others over the years. That’s why all of us at T&K Home Improvements have committed to joining the cause to raise awareness and much-needed funds for this worthy charity. After 45 years of working closely with our local community, this is the perfect next step to help make a real difference to a charity and to the people affected by this heartbreaking condition.
Throughout the year, we’ll be promoting the NNS through a number of events, including fundraisers, showroom open days and more. Keep an eye on our social media channels and right here on our website to find out what we’re doing and how you can get involved.
How You Can Help
Whether by donating money directly, sharing news of our partnership with NNS among your friends and family, or coming along to one of our events to show your support, you can help. Join ‘Team Niamh’ and make a very real difference to children and families affected by neuroblastoma both now and in the future.
If this is the first time you’re hearing about NNS, we suggest you take the time to find out more about the charity and the people behind it. We’re sure that you’ll feel inspired by Niamh and her story to join T&K Home Improvements in raising awareness and making a real difference to the lives of many.
We hope you’ll be able to help us to help others.
