Yvy Carter, 46 has been nominated for the Breast Cancer Campaign’s ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award. She has been working with the Waltham Forest foundation and has done exceptionally good work. She has actively supported her charity in raising funds and continuously working in spreading breast cancer awareness.

Carter spent a lot of her time volunteering for the breast cancer awareness campaign. She actively took part in designing and shaping up the campaign. Last year she assisted the charity staff in organizing events like pink aerobics and charity walks. She actively initiated the charity collections and also cheered the Campaign’s London Marathon runners.

The hardworking volunteer is known to be happy all the time. Most of her time is dedicated to serving the needy people. She wants to spread awareness of breast cancer as she feels the deadly disease is attacking a lot of women and if detected in early stages it can be cured.

For her no job is big or small she managed to ask people for donate money for breast cancer patients on the road and planning the campaign’s development with equal ease.

FLIP successfully organized a Corporate Philanthropy quiz night to raise funds for Happy Faces Charitable Trust aiming chronic illness support. Visit http://www.flip.gi for more information.
