As part of a new calendar of fundraising events, the company’s annual football tournament returns to Birmingham in June, while the senior leadership team is preparing for another endurance challenge following last year’s Mount Snowdon climb.

Teenage Cancer Trust will also have a major presence at Highbourne Group’s internal conference in March, where young people supported by the charity will share their inspiring stories.

Commenting on the partnership, chief people officer at Highbourne Group Rachel Baldwin said:   “We’re incredibly proud to extend our partnership with Teenage Cancer Trust for another three years, marking a fifteen-year commitment to this extraordinary charity.

“Twelve years ago, our colleagues chose Teenage Cancer Trust as our charity partner, and ever since, we’ve been inspired by their dedication to supporting young people with cancer.

“We’ve made great progress in raising awareness and engagement, building strong relationships with the Teenage Cancer Trust team along the way.

“Their work is vital, and we’re determined to build on our success and set our sights even higher for the next three years.

“Here’s to an exciting future of working together to make a lasting impact.”

Corporate partnership manager, Teenage Cancer Trust,  Sam Hughes-Smith added: “Everyone at Teenage Cancer Trust is incredibly proud of the work that Highbourne Group have done since 2012, we are thrilled that they are committed to continuing their support.

 “Thanks to partnerships like this, we can pay for specialist nurses, youth support teams and hospital units within the NHS to provide the very best care and support during treatment and beyond, making sure cancer doesn’t stop young people living their lives.

“Thank you, Highbourne.”
