Coinciding with National Cancer Survivors’ Day on 1 June, IPAF has launched an industry-wide fundraising initiative with Weston Park Cancer Charity to raise funds for vital cancer research.
The PAINT scheme, which stands for ‘Powered Access Industry Trust’, invites IPAF members and stakeholders to nominate a piece of equipment in their fleet as their dedicated ‘PAINT machine’. Each time this machine is hired out, a proportion of the revenue can be donated to support cancer research. Alternatively, companies can choose to donate a percentage of their overall profits or from a specific revenue stream, such as training income. Participating organisations will be recognised and celebrated at an annual industry awards ceremony.
Money raised through PAINT and donated to Weston Park Cancer Charity will help to fund the sector-leading research that takes place at their Cancer Clinical Trials Centre (CCTC).
Martin Wraith, IPAF Rental+ Scheme Manager, said:
“Every single IPAF member will be affected by cancer at some point in their lifetime – whether personally or through a loved one’s diagnosis. Launching the PAINT initiative is incredibly close to my heart. It’s a call to action for our industry: by uniting the powered access community, we can help fund the fight against cancer and contribute to life-changing treatments that will have a global impact.
“Whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, rental company or training centre, every contribution matters. Your support can directly impact Weston Park Cancer Charity’s clinical trials, which are expanding treatment options and improving survival outcomes for cancer patients around the world.”
