Sponsors and Fund Raising

The Fund has no permanent endowments; funds are raised through specific fund raising events, sponsorship and gifts.
The Bud Flanagan Leukaemia Fund has been favoured by many sponsors of our work over the years
and we thank them all for their generous support. However, we are continually looking for new sponsors
and would welcome any who believe in the constant need to support research,
diagnosis and the treatment of leukaemia.
In particular, individuals can make their donations tax efficient by the use of Gift Aid.
