Originally published on Aflac Newsroom

Aflac Incorporated is committed to supporting children and families facing cancer and blood disorders, and that mission is carried across the pond through the Aflac Northern Ireland team’s work with the Children’s Cancer Unit Charity (CCUC). Aflac Northern Ireland, located in Belfast, is a global IT and cybersecurity center that develops technology and innovative solutions to help support customers in their greatest time of need.

Any child diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders in Northern Ireland will visit the CCUC during their treatment journeys, and to support the work that the CCUC does for these patients and their families, Aflac Northern Ireland has raised 22,270 pounds (approximately $28,207) for the charity, bringing their total fundraising amount since 2020 to 70,220 pounds (approximately $88,940) — that’s in addition to the deliveries of 80 My Special Aflac Ducks® to bring smiles to children and help them express their feelings through play.

Aflac Northern Ireland also collaborates with Queen’s University Belfast to offer nursing students hands-on experience and insights into pediatric oncology, helping to support and shape the future of health care professionals. And, in partnership between Aflac Northern Ireland and Aflac U.S., a travel program allows three nursing students to travel to Atlanta, to spend time at the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and to visit Emory University.

In honor of these efforts — and the countless volunteer hours and fundraising activities — Aflac Northern Ireland was presented the Community CSR Award at the Business Eye Awards in recognition for their meaningful contributions to the community.
