Mums and dads are being encouraged to buy packs of Pampers nappies from Budgens stores during September in a bid to help children with cancer. Budgens and Proctor & Gamble UK, manufacturers of Pampers Nappies, are working in partnership with children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent to donate £1 to the charity for every pack of Pampers nappies sold in Budgens stores during the month.
The initiative, which coincides with CLIC Sargent’s National Yummy Mummy Week (15- 23 September) is expected to raise more than £10,000 for the charity. This money will help CLIC Sargent continue to provide care and support for the 10 children and young people diagnosed with cancer every day in the UK.
Julie Boileau, Budgens’ Account Manager, CLIC Sargent says: “We’d urge those parents that regularly buy disposable nappies to get them from Budgens during September. In doing so they’ll be helping us raise much needed funds to support families affected by childhood cancer. To give you a sense of how the money raised could be used, £10,000 would be enough to pay for 10 families affected by childhood cancer to have a free break at our holiday home in Scotland. This would enable them to have some quality time together - as a family - away from the stresses and strains that treatment for cancer inevitably brings.”
