Our partnership with ScottishPower began in 2012, since then it\u2019s raised over \u00a330m. We\u2019re thrilled to announce that we\u2019re extending this extraordinary partnership for another three years. This means that the incredible employees, suppliers and customers of ScottishPower will continue to help us fund our life-saving research until 31 March 2024.<\/p>\n

Alongside their creative fundraising events and activities, ScottishPower will continue to support us through their \u2018Help Beat Cancer\u2019 energy tariff, which sees ScottishPower donate to Cancer Research UK for every month a customer remains on the tariff. We\u2019re also pleased that they will continue to sponsor Race for Life and Stand Up To Cancer.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the renewal of our partnership, we spoke to ScottishPower CEO of UK Retail, Andrew Ward, to hear his thoughts on our partnership\u2019s achievements \u2013 and its future.<\/p>\n

What does the partnership between ScottishPower and CRUK mean to you?<\/h2>\n

I think that, from a professional point of view, it\u2019s one of the things I\u2019m most proud of so far in my 30-year career. I vividly remember the day we confirmed our partnership. It just meant so much to us that we were going to help CRUK. We knew that it was the right thing for our customers, for our staff and for our partners. Everybody wants to try to help when it comes to the amazing work that CRUK do, and for us it\u2019s about giving them a way to do so.<\/p>\n

From a personal point of view, I feel extremely proud \u2013 and I know my colleagues feel the same \u2013 when I look at what we\u2019ve achieved. We\u2019re not all clever enough to cure cancer so using the money our customers, staff and partners have donated to fund CRUK in their work feels like the right way to spend our time and effort. I\u2019m really proud that we\u2019ve been able to help.<\/p>\n

ScottishPower has been our partner since 2012, how has our partnership grown and evolved in that time?<\/h2>\n

CRUK and ScottishPower are better integrated than ever. This is clear when you look at our communications strategy, which aims to ensure that our customers, employees and partners know the full extent of the progress CRUK is making in the fight against cancer. Together, we have helped raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of cancer and played our part in encouraging early diagnosis. We also now have well-established, successful events that aim to appeal to these groups and allow them to donate and support CRUK in their own way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel extremely proud \u2013 and I know my colleagues feel the same \u2013 when I look at what we\u2019ve achieved\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

ScottishPower has done so much for CRUK. Do you have any highlights from our partnership so far?<\/h2>\n

Without a doubt, my personal highlight has been reaching the milestone of \u00a330m raised for CRUK. Knowing the difference our partnership has made since it first began and how it has contributed to bringing forward the day when all cancers are cured \u2013 it\u2019s fantastic!<\/p>\n

What does extending our partnership for another three years mean to you?<\/h2>\n

We talk about cancer and CRUK and as soon as you do people share their own experiences and everybody gets on board. I look at where we\u2019re at with COVID-19 \u2013 we\u2019ve seen the world unite to make a difference and find a vaccine. We need that effort and focus to beat cancer. I\u2019m humbled by the work that is happening and delighted that our continued partnership will lead to further developments.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thrilled to be extending our partnership \u2013 what are your hopes for the future of the partnership?<\/h2>\n

I hope we can continue to raise awareness of the amazing work that CRUK does and continue to create more opportunities to raise funds. I can\u2019t wait to see how our partnership will allow CRUK to make a difference to people who are diagnosed with cancer in the future.<\/p>\n
