We are delighted that we can use our existing football partnerships to raise awareness of Children with Cancer UK. Nearly everyone will at some stage have been affected by cancer and so this is a charity close to all of our hearts, so we’ll be doing our best to raise money and awareness for the charity through this partnership.”
Zahra Scott, Senior Manager – Sport, Regional & Corporate at Children with Cancer UK, said: “We are extremely grateful for the continued support of GVC – front-of-shirt sponsorship of Championship team Charlton Athletic is incredible exposure for the charity and will enable us to continue to raise awareness of childhood cancer and the work we do to improve survival rates and quality of survival in young cancer patients.”
