TAG Supports The Emily Ash Trust

Part of TAG Aviation’s team at the TAG Aviation CAM Symposium in March 2023 

TAG Aviation has officially shown its support for a local charity, The Emily Ash Trust, by handing over 7 newly built bicycles, assembled by its employees. The charity will then gift these brand-new bikes to children who are recovering from cancer.

During the TAG Client Aviation Manager (CAM) Symposium, which took place on March 15th and 16th in the UK, a team-building challenge was incorporated into the official program where attendees, which included both employees and industry partners, were tasked to build a bike from scratch. The event was designed to focus on collaboration, listening to understand each other’s challenges and enhancing ways of working together as one team aligning with the TAG SPIRIT values, the ‘build a bike’ activity was a perfect way to bring the event to a close.

TAG was looking for a local charity to their base in Farnborough, UK to become the recipient of the bikes and selected The Emily Ash Trust because of the tremendous work they do with young cancer patients. TAG was so impressed with the care that the trust offers they have become official supporters and would like to offer assistance with future projects involving both fundraising and volunteering.

The Emily Ash Trust was started in 2002, initially set up to raise awareness of the need for bone marrow donors, the trust has now evolved and today the primary aim is to support families who have a child, teenager or young adult with cancer. They are aware of the enormous strain put on the whole family during cancer treatment from a physical, emotional, logistical and financial level and are there to help provide support and a little light relief for the entire family.
