Advancing IPV

RESPONSIVE. INNOVATIVE. EXPERT.

Stepping Up

BrainTumourResearch

March is Brain Tumour Awareness month and we will be fundraising for Brain Tumour Research throughout the year in memory of our colleague Lee Davies' mum and all those affected by this debilitating disease. During March we will be (virtually) climbing Everest  in our building stairwell and hopefully getting fit in the process. We may get strange looks from the other building occupants as we march up and down the stairs but it's all for a good cause.
