At ChipsAway, we’re proud to not only restore vehicles but also to play a part in supporting our communities. This October, our network is uniting with sister brands Ovenclean and Barking Mad to raise money and awareness for Breast Cancer Now, the UK’s leading breast cancer charity. Together, we’re determined to help fund life-changing research and vital support for those affected by breast cancer.
Across the ChipsAway family, colleagues and franchisees are taking on the “100 Miles in October” challenge – whether by walking, running, or hiking – to reach the milestone together. On 24th October, our teams will also proudly take part in “Wear It Pink” day, joining thousands across the country in wearing pink to raise funds and show solidarity.
This campaign has a very personal meaning for us, as we come together to support Amy, a much-valued member of the Franchise Support Team. Amy, who is currently receiving chemotherapy after being diagnosed with breast cancer, has helped many of our franchisees build strong local businesses. It’s no surprise that so many in our network are getting behind the challenge to show her how much she means to us.
Franchise Support Team Leader, Annabel Hall, shared:
“Breast cancer is a disease that sadly touches so many lives, including our own team. By coming together as ChipsAway, Ovenclean and Barking Mad, we want to show our support for Amy and raise money for vital research and support services. It’s also wonderful to see so many franchisees across the networks stepping up to take part – a true reflection of the community spirit Amy herself has worked so hard to build.”
Every year, around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK. The funds raised by the ChipsAway network and our sister brands will help Breast Cancer Now continue its pioneering research and provide vital support for people facing breast cancer today.
