We are Advantage's Charity of the Year!

Leading healthcare provider, Advantage Healthcare, has nominated us as its charity of the year!

This is the first time that either organisation has entered in to a charity of the year partnership and the relationship is expected to generate at least £20,000 in fundraised income as well as creating volunteering opportunities at United Response services throughout the country.

Advantage is an established healthcare recruitment specialist.

Su Sayer, chief executive of United Response said:

"We are absolutely thrilled to have been nominated as Advantage's charity of the year. At United Response we passionately believe that people with learning disabilities or mental health needs have the right to lead fulfilling lives, accessing the same opportunities as everyone else. We are so pleased to be working alongside an organisation like Advantage that so closely shares this vision.

"Our fundraising work means that we are able to offer people the opportunity to experience new things in their lives, whether that's a short trip or access to specialist equipment to make communication easier. By raising money for United Response and volunteering their time, staff at Advantage will be helping us to make these things an everyday reality in more people's lives. We look forward to working with them."

Keith Nurcombe, chief Executive of Advantage Healthcare Group, said:

"This is the first time that Advantage Healthcare has chosen to have a charity of the year and I am very happy to be working with United Response. It is fantastic for our staff to be able to give their time and energy to a charity that helps such a wide range of individuals in community settings. I look forward to this being a long and successful partnership."
