Staff from the energy company gave up their time as part of their volunteering programme. They rolled up their sleeves and weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty as they spent hours scrubbing the deck as well as making sure the interior of the boat was looking as good as new.

Valero have been supporting us for around three and a half years, and as well as volunteering, the company organises an annual fundraising event called the Benefit for Children Golf Classic. To date, they have raised more than £92,000 for us!

The boat headed out for the first time this year on Mother’s Day, with four of our supported families enjoying special cruises on the Thames. Plenty more trips are planned as we head into the Spring and Summer seasons.

Thanks to funds raised by all our brilliant supporters, we can offer free-of-charge respite breaks for families we support. Day trips and overnight stays can give families time away from the stress of difficult treatments, while having emotional and mental wellbeing benefits too.

A big THANK YOU to everyone at Valero for everything you do for Momentum!
