CARAVAN, CAMPERVAN and motorhome owners continue to go paperless, helping insurance specialist­s Caravan Guard and Leisureday­s to raise more and more money for Heart Research UK.

As part of their commitment to helping hearts and caring completely, the Halifax-based company donates £1 to the charity every time a customer opts for an emailed policy rather than receiving their documents through the post.

In 2021, its “Paperless Policies” campaign raised £18,614 for Heart Research UK, bringing the total amount raised in the last 12 years to a hearty £150,364. Assodentsh­ips

ciate Director, Laura Wilby, said they were delighted to have been able to raise such an incredible amount of money in what has continued to be a difficult year for many charities.

The money will be used to fund a PhD Studentshi­p at the University of Leeds. These stu

give exceptiona­l students the opportunit­y to gain the knowledge, skills and expertise needed for a career as a research scientist. The student will be working on a project which aims to identify which type of platelet becomes stickier in patients with heart disease.

Caravan Guard lost one of their long-serving employees to heart disease in December 2020 so they’re delighted to be funding this research project.

“We’re thrilled to be able to support the life-saving work carried out by Heart Research UK to prevent, treat and cure heart disease,” said Laura. “And a big thank you to those customers who have helped us to raise so much money by choosing to go paperless.”
