Jason Berry, group sales and marketing director at Crystal Specialist Finance (pictured above), said: “Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 are told that they have cancer. 

“The impact of this news creates both physical and mental stresses, leaving families often devastated. 

“Each of these youngsters require specialised nursing care and Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need; no young person should ever face cancer alone. 

“I am proud to support this amazing charity and have committed to raising over £20,000 during this year so that we can make a real difference. 

“I thank our lender and third-party relationships for kicking things off generously at our awards event. 

“I very much look forward to conducting other activities throughout 2022 in support of this extremely worthy cause.”

In 2021, Crystal Specialist Finance raised over £15,000 for its charity partner Mind, as part of its focus on supporting mental health awareness.
