A PR and design firm in Brighouse is backing a cancer charity’s fundraising efforts.

The Lenny Agency has pledged to support the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust, which raises funds towards medical research into cancer affecting teenagers and young adults.

The agency is one of the first local companies to sign up to the charity’s corporate membership scheme, pledging its support for the year.

Managing director Emma Leonard said: “It’s extremely important for us as a local business to give something back to a local cause and what the Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust is doing is just fantastic.

“Through fundraising and campaigns that generate awareness of cancers affecting 13-24 year olds, the trust is making a real difference. We’re proud to have pledged our support to the charity in its fight against cancer and hope to be embarking on further fundraising activities during the year.”

Helen Mervill, fundraising manager for the Laura Crane Trust, said: “We are absolutely thrilled that The Lenny Agency has joined our corporate partners community.” Visit www.lauracranetrust.org/want-to-help/companies.aspx
