Andy Smith, General Manager of PartyLite UK, comments: “We are delighted to be supporting CLIC Sargent. They provide a service that we care deeply about and we feel a close connection to its work, as most PartyLite consultants are working women with families. "As a business we recognise the value and importance of the family and we have a great many fund-raising plans for the future.” Every 48 hours, 10 children are diagnosed with cancer or leukaemia. CLIC Sargent acts as a lifeline keeping families together when the unimaginable happens, providing clinical, psychosocial, emotional and financial care and support. “As a patron of CLIC Sargent I was delighted to hear that PartyLite UK Ltd has chosen us to be their official charity partner,” says boxing champion Barry McGuigan. “This is tremendous news and I would like to thank everyone at PartyLite for pledging their invaluable support.” If you want to buy the Snowflake Tealight Holder, call 01923 848 734 for your nearest PartyLite Consultant.
