A BASINGSTOKE charity is celebrating after signing its first new business supporter of 2020.

Ark Cancer Centre Charity, which is raising £5million to fund supportive care and services, will be supported by Bang Consulting.

The Basingstoke-based Bang Consulting is run by owner Nicky Parker who said her team was delighted to support Ark.

Nicky said: “Ark is such a good cause that we decided to become an Ark Our Partner supporter and get more involved in 2020.

“So many people have been touched by cancer, and Ark’s mission to deliver supportive services and care, complementary therapies, and an uplifting environment will make a massive difference to cancer patients and their families.”

Mark Jones, director of fundraising and communications at Ark Cancer Centre Charity, said: “We are delighted to have the backing of Nicky and the Bang Consulting team. Local support from local companies really makes a difference.

“Ark’s Our Partner supporters past and present have all made an important contribution to the charity’s £5m appeal.”
