Once again, we’re supporting Maggies by designing a leaflet and poster to help promote their Christmas Fair. The event is to be held at the Cheltenham centre on Saturday, 11 December.

With an array of gift stalls, games and face painting, carol singing and mulled wine and mince pies it sounds like real festive fun. And all the money raised will go straight to supporting the upkeep of Maggies Cheltenham cancer caring centre.

Ben, James, Nigel and Vicky were lucky enough to receive invitations to the opening of Maggie’s Cheltenham.

ICON have produced a lot of material for Maggie’s Cheltenham from leaflets, invitations and newsletters to promotional emails. On top of that Ben and Nigel even ‘jumped’ out of a plane and raised £2007.50 (Including GiftAid) for the charity!

The Duchess of Cornwall opened Maggie’s Cheltenham cancer care centre earlier in the day.

A Maggie’s Centre is a place to turn to for help with any of the problems, small or large, associated with cancer.

Under one roof people can access help with information, benefits advice, psychological support both individually and in groups, courses and stress reducing strategies. You don’t have to make an appointment, or be referred and everything they offer is free of charge.

The big day was on Wednesday the 4th August and below are the pictures and videos to prove they did it!

Between them they raised a whopping: £2007.50 (Including GiftAid)

They would both like to say a BIG thank you to those who have donated.

As mentioned in a previous post, we have been helping The Maggie’s Cotswolds charity with promoting their fundraising activities and we have been thanked for our efforts with this yummy cake.

The Maggie’s Cotswolds cancer centre is scheduled to open later next year and will offer advice and counselling to sufferers and their families.

We’re proud to have played a small part in helping them to raise their profile as well as in their fundraising activities locally by donating our time in the design and production of marketing support material.

The next edition of the Maggies Newsletter.

The ‘Grand Designs’, Cheltenham Underground House featured in this exclusive ladies-only afternoon invitation designed for Maggies.

This newsletter is part of the awareness and fund raising campaign to build the new Maggie’s Cotswolds cancer care centre in Cheltenham and follows on from the recently designed promotional leaflet.

Maggie’s cancer caring centres are the realisation of Maggie Keswick Jencks’ dream to offer people affected by cancer free access to information and counselling. There are already six centres around the UK and the new Maggie’s Cotswolds centre is scheduled to be open by summer 2010 in a building close to Cheltenham’s Oncology Centre.

This is the first promotional piece we’ve designed for Maggie’s Cotswolds and a follow up newsletter is also now planned.
