JOHN PYE & SONS today pledged its support to Maggie's Cancer charity appeal to help towards raising £3m to build a specialist cancer support unit in Nottingham.Maggie's has been chosen by John Pye & Sons as the company's nominated charity for 2010.
Around 1.3 million people are served by the Nottingham University Hospital Trust and around 4,000 people a year within the Trust area are diagnosed with cancer.
John Pye & Sons will be undertaking a calendar of fundraising events throughout 2010 to help boost the fundraising appeal along with other Nottingham businesses, organisations and individuals, including the Nottingham Evening Post.
The announcement follows on from last year's charity donation by John Pye & Sons to Billy's House, the QMC residential facility for parents of children who are receiving cancer treatment but live out of the city limits.
John Pye & Sons purchased and supplied electrical goods worth approx. £2,000 to help kit out the home located just off Derby Road.
