As a charity, we work closely with businesses across the UK through our corporate partnerships. Now, more businesses than ever are choosing to adopt a programme of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
There are real benefits for your business when working with a charity, whether you make us your chosen Charity of the Year, sign up or create a team for one of our events, or hold an office fundraiser.
By becoming our corporate partner, you are helping to ensure we can provide vital support to anyone affected by a blood cancer diagnosis. Your help can make sure that no one has to go through blood cancer alone.
Our current corporate partners
We’re delighted to be working with Dalata Hotel Group PLC from 2022 until 2025.
Dalata Hotel Group, the largest hotel operator in Ireland, with a growing presence in the United Kingdom and continental Europe will be supporting Leukaemia Care through its Maldron and Clayton hotel chains in England, Scotland and Wales.
The Dalata partnership will support leukaemia patients aged between 0-25 years old. The hotel group will be providing long stay accommodation close to the hospital that can administer a new treatment called CAR-T. Only 9 hospitals in GB offer this treatment and the locations match conveniently with Dalata hotels, with this project ensuring it is possible for patients to get the treatment they need.
