A SLAITHWAITE design company has been recognised for its support for Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust.
And the award they collected is named in memory of Examiner journalist Adrian Sudbury who lost his battle with cancer in 2008, aged 27.
Adrian, fondly known as Sudders, was a friend of the trust and campaigned to raise awareness about bone marrow donation and fought to have young people educated in schools and colleges about the issue.
The trust has this year chosen Reflex Print and Design in Slaithwaite to receive the Adrian Sudbury Award for outstanding support.
Their efforts have helped the trust save thousands of pounds in printing costs, particularly after it re-branded and printed all new stationery and brochures free of charge.
Reflex managing director, Clive Ainley said: “We do this to help the trust to support more young cancer patients to make a difference to their lives.”
Laura Crane Youth Cancer Trust manager, Pam Thornes said: “We are so grateful to everyone at Reflex Print and Design.
“They are outstanding in their support and commitment to the trust.
“We have a wonderful fun working relationship with directors Clive and Richard as well as all the team and we hope our friendship continues for many years to come.”
Adrian’s campaign in the last few months of his life, and continued legacy by his family, has led to the Register and Be a Lifesaver project, run by The Anthony Nolan Trust and NHS Blood and Transplant.
Under the new proposals, children aged 16 and over would be given lessons on how donations are made and how their blood or bone marrow could save lives.
The lessons would be compulsory in schools and colleges.
