Arch lends support to local charity
An award-winning, Loughborough-based social enterprise is collaborating with a local charity to enable more women, men and children experiencing domestic abuse to rebuild their lives. Public relations and
marketing agency Arch Communications gave £10,000 to the charity Living Without Abuse (LWA) on 4 February - the first day of the nationally- recognised week dedicated to raising awareness of sexual abuse and sexual violence. Arch Communications is a
social enterprise operating across the East Midlands and nationally. The support offered to LWA brings Arch’s total contribution to local good causes to more than £130,000 since its launch in 2011. Arch Communications
Founder and Director Matt Youdale said: “We are proud to sponsor and promote the work of LWA. This donation is part of our business ethos to provide high-quality PR and marketing services, so that we can invest in our community.”

East Midlands charities gather for masterclass
Charities from across the East Midlands gathered for a charity masterclass hosted by Roythornes Solicitors to gain insight from a variety of experts. The event saw more than 90 people from 70 local charities come together to prepare for challenges and opportunities they may face. The expert panel included Chamber members Julia
Seary from Roythornes and Liz Cartwright from Cartwright Communications. Mark Dodds, Marketing Manager at Roythornes
Solicitors, said: “We work with a number of charities and we were finding many were asking questions beyond just legalities, so we decided to host a masterclass sharing knowledge of not only law but also accounting, investment, insurance and PR and marketing. “The event went really well and we are delighted
with the feedback from the attendees. A huge thank you to all our panellists for sharing their expertise and giving up their time.”
Breakthrough made possible by funding
Dawn gets a little help from her friends
A local marketing agency owner was overwhelmed with support after asking her own community of friends and colleagues for help. Dawn Spendlove, founder of
Love Marketing, needed support as she had sponsored a project to provide hot meals for the homeless and lonely in the local community. The Community Meal project, ran
by the YMCA Derbyshire and Head High, a local mental health organisation, is held each month with the aim of bringing people together to enjoy a welcoming space and food to nourish body and mind.
24 business network March 2019 However as Dawn, who celebrates
ten years in business this year, works alone, she needed help to buy, prepare, cook, serve and clean up meals for up to 120 local people. Friends and current and former
colleagues from Derby County FC, Derby County Community Trust, AIM Awards, Belper Hockey Club, Sonara Singers Ladies Choir and Tesco all supported Dawn. Dawn said: “When I committed
my support to this fantastic project I knew I would have to call in help, luckily I have a brilliant network of friends, colleagues and clients.
Funds raised by Hope Against Cancer have contributed to a new breakthrough study which suggests changing the time a patient receives radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer can reduce its overall toxicity and the chances of side- effects. The study, led by the
University of Leicester, was carried out at Hope Against Cancer’s clinical research facility in Leicester, with funding also coming from Breast Cancer Now and the European Union Seventh Framework Programme. It found differences in a patient’s genes could result in radiotherapy
Funds raised by Hope Against Cancer have contributed to recent trials
having more or less risk of side-effects at certain times of the day. According to the research, the risk of developing these side-effects
is greater in patients receiving radiotherapy in the morning hours. Hope Against Cancer, which supports clinical trials and funds vital
research at the Leicester Cancer Research Centre, believes this research can be the starting point for personalised treatment for breast cancer and allow maximum effectiveness while reducing the side-effects. Chief Executive Nigel Rose said: “This research is vital for
developing personalised breast cancer treatment and I’m proud Hope Against Cancer is playing a key role. We’ve always been committed to funding research and using this knowledge for the benefit of those living with cancer both now and in the future.”
