UK Air Cargo Club raises funds for the Alzheimer's Society

The United Kingdom Air Cargo Club (UKACC) has donated £18,000 to the Alzheimer's Society charity - proceeds raised at its industry social events over the last calendar year. The money was raised at UKACC industry lunches, a quiz night, golf day, and the Club's annual Gala ball and Christmas Lunch events, attended by some 300 guests from across the UK air cargo community. UKACC's membership consists of cargo professionals from airlines, freight forwarders, cargo handlers, courier and express companies, equipment suppliers, and others. David Stroud, former policy & compliance adviser at the British International Freight Association (BIFA), and past chair of UKACC during the last fundraising year, presented the Club's significant donation to Soya Cutts, regional fundraiser for Alzheimer's Society. "When choosing a charity to support during my year as UKACC Chair, I picked one close to my heart as my mother is living with dementia," said Stroud. "Throughout our year of fundraising, I met so many other industry friends and colleagues who had a family member or friend that been impacted by this terrible disease. "Working with Alzheimer's Society opened my eyes to the difference they make, not just to those living with dementia, but the families, friends and support groups involved, so it was a great honour to make such a sizeable donation to support their outstanding work. "I especially want to send a special thank you to our members from across the UK cargo community, who so generously support our events and donate prizes to boost our fundraising."
