Gift experience companies help battle cancer this Christmas
(20/12/2009)

Two gift experience companies are donating £5 from every purchase to two of the UK’s leading cancer charities, meaning that friends and relatives won’t be the only ones benefiting from the last-minute Christmas shopping rush.

Online shoppers can do their bit for male cancer campaign, Everyman, by treating friends and relatives to vouchers and gift packages at gonutspaintball.co.uk or a spa experience bought at pampermepink.co.uk, both of which will immediately generate a £5 donation to Everyman or Breast Cancer Care respectively.

Paintballing vouchers start from as little as £10.99 and are valid at sites across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, so now having a wild time blasting friends and relatives has never made such a difference.

Spa gift vouchers and packages at pampermepink.co.uk are an ideal gift for the special women in your life who always relish a gift of relaxation after the busy festive season. These start from as little as £20 and can be redeemed at the most popular spa locations throughout the UK.

Becky Janes of Rest & Relax, the company behind pampermepink.co.uk, said: “As an all-female management team we have witnessed the impact that breast cancer has on the lives of women we work with as well as friends and family. It is this personal experience which inspired us to create Pamper Me Pink.”

Rowena Finch of Breast Cancer Care, which offers vital practical and emotional support to anyone affected by breast cancer across the UK, said: “Almost 46,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK – that’s somebody every 11 minutes. The generous support of customers at pampermepink.co.uk will make a huge difference to the services we provide.”

Fran Payne of Paintball Nation, the company behind gonutspaintball.co.uk, said: “Protecting ones manhood is never far from the mind of paintball players so it seemed appropriate to partner with the Everyman campaign to help keep it in the forefront of the minds of every man across the UK.”

Jacqueline Rogers, Head of Corporate Partnership of Everyman, the UK’s leading prostate and testicular cancer campaign, said: “We are delighted to have the support of gonutspaintball.co.uk in the fight to stamp out male cancer.”

£5 from every purchase made at each site will go directly towards Everyman and Breast Cancer Care respectively, at no extra cost to the customer.
