Raising Profiles

Addiction can be the loneliest of struggles. As Johann Hari says in our first edition, it's one that's often met with conflict, when we should be singing love songs.

I immediately contacted two people who I knew had the talent and tenacity to help secure the book. Clair Chadwick, a tireless local charity campaigner, and Stephen Joll, a philanthropic local businessman, were as inspired as I was. They worked like Trojans petitioning for funds.

Because of their wide pool of skills and experience, the team have a very keen eye (and ear) for a story that will make the news pages or is suitable to fill a feature page slot. They respond quickly, have a comprehensive contacts book, never fail to come up with case studies that fit the bill - and they are warm, responsive people to deal with.

Ultimately, they are an extension of our small team and I would recommend them without hesitation.

Cause UK are passionate about the causes they help promote and raise funds for. I’d have no hesitation recommending them for any cause seeking a professional, creative and hard-working team. They don’t just talk the talk, but deliver the goods.

I was just honoured to be invited by Cause UK to attend the northern premier of this remarkable exhibition. Muhammad Ali is one of the last living icons of our time. I’m proud to support this event that extols all the wonderful values and philosophies of the great man.
