Scotland’s leading Autodesk CAD Software and Training Centre, TMS CADCentre have signed up to support local cancer care charity Maggie’s Forth Valley in 2023 with the aim of raising funds to pay for a day of running the centre.
Maggie’s Forth valley, which opened in 2017, supports anyone affected by cancer including over 750 newly diagnosed individuals each year. They offer a unique, free programme of care and support that includes groups, classes, workshops and 1-2-1 sessions with their expert team of cancer support specialists, a clinical psychologist, and benefits advisor.
TMS have pledged to donate 25% of their gross profit from new customers purchasing Autodesk CAD Software Subscriptions or renewals, as well as committing to fundraising for Maggie’s during 2023.
TMS will kick-off their fundraising by holding a Maggie’s Kitchen Table Day event at their Larbert office in March and plan further fundraising activities throughout the year. Plans are also being made to host an exciting design competition with Larbert High School pupils later in the year, also in aid of Maggie’s.
Alex Lowe, Managing Director TMS said, ‘I am proud to announce that TMS have chosen to support Maggie’s Forth Valley and the work they do in the community. As a family business, we adopt a caring, relationship-based approach to our work and we aim to look after our employees and customers. These are values we share with Maggie’s who do a power of good for local people affected by cancer every day. We are honoured to support such a vital resource in the local community.’
Pauline Mellon, Autodesk Manager TMS said “I am looking forward to seeing the design entries for this competition from Larbert High. We hope to turn the creativity and aspirations of the students for Maggie’s into Virtual Reality”.
Cristina Pouso, Centre Fundraising Manager at Maggie’s Forth Valley said, ‘We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work with TMS for the year ahead. We have lots of fundraising activities in mind to give the whole team a chance to get involved. We rely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters to pay for the services we deliver at Maggie’s Forth Valley, and securing TMS’s support so early in the year is a real boost. It will be great getting to know the team.’
