Big C is a charity very close to Insight’s heart and to date they have raised over £14,700 for Big C during various fund raising initiatives, which includes its annual charity golf event, which took in September and raised over £8,500 for charity. Earlier this year Insight pledged to raise a minimum of £5,000 for Big C during 2010 through the 30 for 30 initiative.

1 in 3 of us will have some form of cancer during our lives. Across Norfolk & Waveney there are currently 5,500 people newly diagnosed with cancer every year.

Speaking on behalf of Insight, managing director Jason Howard said: “We enjoyed a fantastic event that certainly lived up to its name of Style, Glitz and Glamour and in doing so, we were able to raise lots of money for Big C, one of Norfolk’s great local charities who are truly making a difference in our county and beyond. I would like to say a big thank you to all the companies who supported our event and helped made it the great success it was.
