Philanthropy
We are pleased to be supporting two charitable Causes for 2025-2026.
Scannappeal Mobile Breast Screening Appeal, (charity number 296291) and Robin Sings (Charitable) Trust, (charity number, Giving Works, 1078770)
Scannappeal’s £410,000 Mobile Breast Appeal was launched in October 2024 with the aim to fully fund a brand new fully equipped state of the art mobile mammography screening unit for South Buckinghamshire. Patients living in areas such as Princess Risborough, Stokenchurch, Prestwood, Chesham, Chalfont Peter, Marlow Gerrards Cross and Denham will benefit from more convenient screening programmes closer to home without travelling to hospital. Breast Screening is a vital tool in detecting cancer early, often identifying small changes in breast tissue before any other symptoms appear.
In 2024, 27,609 women in Buckinghamshire were invited for routine breast Screening. Of those 815 required further assessment. While some received re-assurance, 179 women were diagnosed with breast cancer- many not feeling a lump or other symptoms. Without screening, these diagnoses could have come later, limiting treatment outcomes.
With our support, this appeal can help detect cancer earlier, offer more treatment options and ultimately save lives.

Robin Sings Charitable Trust was set up recently to honour a member, friend and long-term co-chair of The CAWC Christmas Bazaar, Robin Smirnov. Robin’s sudden death has created a hole in the lives of all who knew her. Singing and music was her vocation. She was a talented singer and taught children to sing in local schools and through her company Robin Sings.
The trust would like to continue Robin’s love of music and singing with local children and give back to the local community. To do so the trust is dedicated to support the artistic aspirations of young people (under 18) with a passion for music and the performing arts in The Chilterns.
