Staff from Shireland Biomedical UTC participated in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life, raising over £200, including more than £45 in Gift Aid.
Held in June at Sandwell, the event was a tremendous success for the Academy’s team – Miss Aldridge, Mr Williams, Miss Banks and Miss Smith – who demonstrated remarkable commitment, teamwork and stamina leading up to the race and on the day itself.
Not only did the event inspire students by showcasing the power of collective effort, but it also united the school and wider community in support of this vital cause.
Gulfam Shahzad, Acting Principal at Shireland Biomedical UTC, said: “We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our school and community. On behalf of the Academy, thank you to all who donated and supported our team for this amazing charity.
“Our staff continue to set an inspiring example for our students, demonstrating that every contribution can make a significant difference and encouraging them to become active participants in driving positive change.”
Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is a pivotal event that brings communities together to fund life-saving research, support patients and raise awareness about cancer prevention. The donations raised will aid in advancing cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes. Over the past 40 years, cancer survival rates have doubled thanks to the charity’s consistent progress and innovative research, which has played a crucial role in saving millions of lives.
