PINK ARCHITECTS GET IN THE PINK

ARCHITECTURAL firm Space Group got in the pink today (30 October) to raise awareness and vital funds for breast cancer.

Space Group, which is based in Brewery Wharf, Leeds, is playing its part in the Breast Cancer Campaign’s national ‘Wear it Pink’ day by asking its staff to donate a minimum of £2 in exchange for a hot pink _space-branded t-shirt.

The company, whose corporate brand is pink, is also asking for a further £1 donation from staff who wish to wear jeans for the day, with all money raised going to support the work of the Breast Cancer Campaign.

Space Group associate director Nigel Pilkington said: “Breast cancer research has made considerable progress over the past two decades but vital work is still underway to improve quality of life and survival rates.

“As our corporate colour is hot pink, we felt this was something we could get behind by selling the crew neck t-shirts in exchange for a donation.

“One woman in nine in the UK will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime and every donation helps bring us a step closer to beating the disease.”

Breast Cancer Campaign uses all ‘Wear it Pink’ donations to fund innovative, world-class research throughout the UK and Ireland to understand how breast cancer develops, leading to improved diagnosis, treatment, prevention and cure.
