Here at KnowledgeBrief, we are proud to announce our partnership with the exceptional charity Young Lives vs Cancer for 2024. As a leading training provider specialising in leadership and management apprenticeships and commercial training, we believe that great leadership matters. Leadership is a steadfast commitment to the well-being of oneself and others. Our partnership with YLVC is an extension of this core value – through our common commitment to improving the lives of others. Our approach of delivering personalised learning experiences through subject matter experts is not just about helping our learners and clients succeed in business, but also about fostering positive change and a sense of support in all.
Our commitment to leadership development extends beyond the office walls; it is a genuine eagerness to make a difference in the lives of others. The partnership has grown from our direct experience with supporting a group of employees from YLVC on the L3 and L5 Leadership and Management Apprenticeships. We saw firsthand the incredible work they do, and all our staff felt that they wanted to give something back to this wonderful charity. This partnership is an amazing opportunity to inspire, uplift, and demonstrate our core values in a meaningful way.
Every day, 12 more children and young people in the UK hear the devastating news that they have cancer.
YLVC plays a critical role in ensuring that support is available for these individuals during such a difficult time. YLVC offers various forms of assistance during cancer treatment periods, from funding specialized social workers to offering free accommodations through programs like Paul’s House in London; the charity provides invaluable assistance to families navigating the complexities of a cancer diagnosis. Our partnership aims to raise crucial funds to sustain these important services, while also uniting our common value of supporting the lives of others.
In light of this, our team at KnowledgeBrief is excited to be involved in several opportunities to raise donations for such an incredible charity. At Christmas, we held a company-wide charity raffle, and through this festive event, we were proud to raise £500 via raffle ticket purchases and personal donations from the team.
On the 26th of April, we are looking forward to hosting our KnowledgeBrief ‘Wellbeing Day’. This day will be a company-wide opportunity for our team and learners to be involved in a number of well-being workshops in aid of Young Lives vs Cancer. The event will unite industry experts, our team, and a beneficiary of the charity. This wonderful volunteer will be attending sessions throughout the day to explain the impact our partner has had on so many lives. With the themes of well-being and support for others in mind, we will also have the opportunity to donate to YLVC and their special cause throughout the day.
We are also excited to take part in the Cotswold Ultra Challenge in June. This ultra walk, set in the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds, will span non-stop across two days – with some of our team eager to attempt the entire 100km (62-mile) distance! Starting at 7 am on the Saturday and finishing sometime around midday on the Sunday, this will be an extreme test of mental and physical endurance.
