A record year for charity donations
Blood cancer charity Cure Leukaemia recorded a record year in 2017 as it broke the £2m mark for the first time. The charity announced a gross income of £2,222,720 last year, an
increase of 50 per cent in comparison to previous years. This success has helped fund the expansion of a world-leading facility in Birmingham and secured national support from a global, universal bank. The charity raised an additional £1m in 2017 to fund the £3.4
million expansion of the globally significant Centre for Clinical Haematology (CCH) at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. With the Greater Birmingham and Solihull Local Enterprise
Partnership granting £2.4m towards the project, work began in May to double the facility’s capacity. Through a combination of trusts and foundations, major and community fundraising events and generous donors the necessary capital was realised. In addition to helping transform the CCH, Cure Leukaemia managed to secure national support from Deutsche Bank. Chosen from a poll of the bank’s 10,000 employees, Cure Leukaemia was successful in becoming one of the organisation’s two charities of the year 2018-19. Chief executive James McLaughlin said: “2017 was truly
transformational for Cure Leukaemia. We are immensely proud to have raised an additional £1m towards the CCH expansion and secured Deutsche Bank’s national support. “We’re the first Birmingham charity to be supported by the bank
and we are determined to ensure it is their most successful partnership to date. It is vital that we now build on this success and that is why we will be seeking two new national partners over the next 24 months to ensure the sustainability of Cure Leukaemia.”
“In addition to securing the
funding for the CCH, the Deutsche Bank partnership will transform the charity and it is now our job to maximise these two years and seek further national support going forward to deliver a long-term funding platform for the charity.” Blood cancer survivor Geoff
Thomas, the former England, Crystal Palace, Wolves and Nottingham Forest footballer, and Cure Leukaemia Patron, said: “Along with three other amateur cyclists, I rode 10,400km last year
as we took on all three Grand Tours, the Giro D’Italia, Tour de France and La Vuelta, raising over £300,000 towards Cure Leukaemia’s £1m Appeal. “The Three Tours Challenge was
just one of hundreds of fundraising events that took place to raise funds for this centre, which saved my life back in 2003. I am immensely proud to have played a part in this inspirational project and equally proud to have helped secure the transformational support of Deutsche Bank over the next two years.”
