Awareness As a   charity,   we   want   to   raise   awareness  and  gain  external  profile  of   Caring  Ma,ers  Now.       We  want  to  raise  awareness  of  CMN  in   the   medical   field,   so   pa@ents   are   given   correct   informa@on   and   advice   about   CMN.   We   are   also   very   keen   to   raise   our   profile   na@onally   and   interna@onally   through   media   coverage,   corporate   support   and   fundraising   projects   for   the  general  public.

Corporate Support  

This year   we   have   seen   an   increase   in   the   number   of   businesses,   organisa@ons   and   schools   who   have   chosen   to   support   Caring   Ma,ers   Now.     This   is   as   a   result   of   the   CMN   Champions   awards   scheme  which  was  established  in  January  2013.       We   have   also   developed   this   year   corporate   challenges,   where   corporates  can  sign  up  to  a  team  challenge  and  raise  funds  for  Caring   Ma,ers  Now.
